• chr1-147907974-CTGGGGAACATCT-C
• NM_005267.5:c.23_34delGGAACATCTTGG

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM4 PP3

The NM_005267.5(GJA8):​c.23_34delGGAACATCTTGG​(p.Gly8_Leu11del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

Genes affected

GJA8 (HGNC:4281): (gap junction protein alpha 8) This gene encodes a transmembrane connexin protein that is necessary for lens growth and maturation of lens fiber cells. The encoded protein is a component of gap junction channels and functions in a calcium and pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene have been associated with zonular pulverulent cataracts, nuclear progressive cataracts, and cataract-microcornea syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
