Genes affected

LIM2 (HGNC:6610): (lens intrinsic membrane protein 2) This gene encodes an eye lens-specific protein found at the junctions of lens fiber cells, where it may contribute to cell junctional organization. It acts as a receptor for calmodulin, and may play an important role in both lens development and cataractogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cataract formation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

LIM2 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• cataract 19 multiple types

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, LIMITED Submitted by: Ambry Genetics, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), G2P
• total early-onset cataract

  Inheritance: AD Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.74).
