The c.12505A>G variant in USH2A is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of threonine by alanine at amino acid 4169. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 is 0.003637 (273/75052 alleles) in the African/African-American population, which is higher than the ClinGen HL VCEP threshold (>0.003]) for BS1, and therefore meets this criterion (BS1 met).The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.207, which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging or benign impact on USH2A function. (PP3 and BP4 not met). This variant has been observed in the homozygous state in at least six apparently healthy adults (GeneDx internal data, SCV000583079.4). This variant has also been observed with a co-occurring pathogenic variant, phase unknown, in three patients with retinitis pigmentosa/other retinal disease (Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae) SCV001039753.7). However, given its high allele frequency in the population and unknown phase with the co-occurring variant, PM3 was not applied. In summary, this variant has been classified as likely benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP: BS1 (ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP specifications version 2; 5/21/2025)
