Description
The USH2A, c.2802T>G (p.Cys934Trp) variant is at extremely low frequency in population database; allele frequency in East Asia population is 0. 0025 by gnomAD v2.1.1. This variant is detected in trans with a pathogenic variant [USH2A, c.9570+1G>A] . This variant has been previously reported to be detected in numerous patients affected by retinitis pigmentosa or Usher syndrome as homozygote [PMID: 26338283], or in combination with another null variant in USH2A gene [PMID: 24938718, 25649381, 30948794, 33105608, 26338283], including frameshift and canonical splice sites variants (c.8368delT, c.8730dupT, c.9570+1G>A, c.99_100insT, c.5858-1G>A, c.5158delC, c.11811_11812delCT, c.12409delA, c.710delT). In at least 3 patients, the other null variant was confirmed to be in trans with this variant [PMID: 24938718, 30948794]. Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product, REVEL = 0.849. This variant has been reported to co-segregate with retinitis pigmentosa or Usher syndrome in several families [PMID: 24938718, 26310143, 21686329].There are multiple submissions of this variant in ClinVar (Variation ID: 143179).
