Genes affected

CRYGD (HGNC:2411): (crystallin gamma D) Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. Gamma-crystallins are a homogeneous group of highly symmetrical, monomeric proteins typically lacking connecting peptides and terminal extensions. They are differentially regulated after early development. Four gamma-crystallin genes (gamma-A through gamma-D) and three pseudogenes (gamma-E, gamma-F, gamma-G) are tandemly organized in a genomic segment as a gene cluster. Whether due to aging or mutations in specific genes, gamma-crystallins have been involved in cataract formation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.482A>G (p.N161S) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the CRYGD gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 482, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 161 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The CRYGD c.482A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn161Ser. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0078% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-208986440-T-C). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 161 of the CRYGD protein (p.Asn161Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs760434926, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CRYGD-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 333868). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The serine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
