Genes affected

PAX6 (HGNC:8620): (paired box 6) This gene encodes paired box protein Pax-6, one of many human homologs of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. In addition to a conserved paired box domain, a hallmark feature of this gene family, the encoded protein also contains a homeobox domain. Both domains are known to bind DNA and function as regulators of gene transcription. Activity of this protein is key in the development of neural tissues, particularly the eye. This gene is regulated by multiple enhancers located up to hundreds of kilobases distant from this locus. Mutations in this gene or in the enhancer regions can cause ocular disorders such as aniridia and Peter's anomaly. Use of alternate promoters and alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Interestingly, inclusion of a particular alternate coding exon has been shown to increase the length of the paired box domain and alter its DNA binding specificity. Consequently, isoforms that carry the shorter paired box domain regulate a different set of genes compared to the isoforms carrying the longer paired box domain. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2019]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_001368910.2
• PP2: Missense variant in the PAX6 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 75 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 15 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.8175 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.1872 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Peters anomaly, diabetes mellitus, aniridia-cerebellar ataxia-intellectual disability syndrome, foveal hypoplasia-presenile cataract syndrome, aniridia 1, PAX6-related ocular dysgenesis, coloboma, ocular, autosomal dominant, isolated optic nerve hypoplasia, autosomal dominant keratitis, isolated aniridia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.911
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 10 AD,Unknown gene.
