Genes affected
MYOC (HGNC:7610): (myocilin) MYOC encodes the protein myocilin, which is believed to have a role in cytoskeletal function. MYOC is expressed in many occular tissues, including the trabecular meshwork, and was revealed to be the trabecular meshwork glucocorticoid-inducible response protein (TIGR). The trabecular meshwork is a specialized eye tissue essential in regulating intraocular pressure, and mutations in MYOC have been identified as the cause of hereditary juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma.

Open-angle glaucoma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen Glaucoma Variant Curation Expert PanelJul 05, 2023The c.1463C>T variant in MYOC is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Alanine by Valine at amino acid 488 (p.Ala488Val). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant was in the East Asian population of gnomAD (v2.1.1) = 0.0002719 (5 alleles out of 18,386), which did not meet the PM2_Supporting allele frequency threshold (<= 0.0001) or the BS1 allele frequency threshold (>= 0.001). The REVEL score = 0.715, which met the >= 0.7 threshold for PP3, predicting a damaging effect on MYOC function. There was no functional evidence predicting a damaging or benign impact of this variant on MYOC function. Although a proband with primary open angle glaucoma had been reported carrying this variant, PM2_Supporting was not met, therefore PS4 did not apply. In summary, this variant met the criteria to receive a score of 1 and to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance (uncertain significance classification range -1 to 5) for primary open angle glaucoma based on the ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Glaucoma VCEP (v1, 12 Oct 2021): PP3. -
