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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.922
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000178 (26/1461688) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.0000234 (26/1111848). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000163. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 14 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 35. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 17, 2023The c.35A>G (p.E12G) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the GJA8 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 35, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 12 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
