Genes affected

EPHA2 (HGNC:3386): (EPH receptor A2) This gene belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EPH and EPH-related receptors have been implicated in mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system. Receptors in the EPH subfamily typically have a single kinase domain and an extracellular region containing a Cys-rich domain and 2 fibronectin type III repeats. The ephrin receptors are divided into 2 groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. This gene encodes a protein that binds ephrin-A ligands. Mutations in this gene are the cause of certain genetically-related cataract disorders.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Cataract 6 multiple types

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 14, 2023	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 721 of the EPHA2 protein (p.Arg721Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs116506614, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individuals with cortical cataract (PMID: 19649315, 29267365). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13262). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt EPHA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects EPHA2 function (PMID: 19649315). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The EPHA2 c.2162G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg721Gln. This variant was previously reported in individuals affected by late-onset cataract in one family; however, several affected family members did not harbor this variant (Jun et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19649315). In vitro analysis of the p.Arg721Gln variant demonstrated an increase in the basal activation of EPHA2 kinase and subsequently increased basal ERK1/2 activities. In mouse models harboring the p.Arg721Gln variant (referred to as Epha2-Q722 in the mouse), cataract formation was not observed; however, differences in gene expression in the lens was noted (Zhou et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34685586). This variant is reported in 0.13% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which is likely too frequent to be associated with a highly penetrant cause of disease. In ClinVar, this variant has conflicting interpretations ranging from likely benign to pathogenic by outside laboratories (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/13262/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
