Genes affected

GJA3 (HGNC:4277): (gap junction protein alpha 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a connexin and is a component of lens fiber gap junctions. Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Extracellular (size 27) in uniprot entity CXA3_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_021954.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.918
• PP5: Variant 13-20142726-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20142726-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 50941.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
