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]

The CRYGD c.70C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro24Thr. This variant, also described in the literature as P23T, has been reported in the heterozygous state in many individuals and families with cataracts (Family C87, Santhiya et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 12011157; Fan et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32883240; Family A, Vanita. 2012. PubMed ID: 22669729; Liu et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 37337769). Functional studies have shown that this variants leads to lowered solubility of the protein, making it prone to aggregation (Banerjee et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 21827768; Boatz et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28474685; Pande et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20553008). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. Of note, another variant impacting the same amino acid residue (p.Pro24Ser) has also been reported to segregate in a large family with cataracts (referred to as P23S, Plotnikova et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17564961). Based on this evidence, we interpret the c.70C>A (p.Pro24Thr) variant as pathogenic. -

Published functional studies suggest this variant (described as P23T) causes misfolding and protein aggregation (Moreau et al., 2012); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19275895, 32883240, 34169787, 23141511, 25403472, 26694549, 26732753, 29914532, 29652984, 19218553, 12011157, 19216553, 20553008, 21827768, 23670788, 28474685, 23936409, 15709761, 22669729, 22520268, 32148946, 32830442, 12676897, 28450710, 33510601, 31523120, 34150533, 14767902, 19668596, 35222542) -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 24 of the CRYGD protein (p.Pro24Thr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CRYGD function (PMID: 21827768, 28474685). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16940). This variant is also known as p.Pro23Thr. This missense change has been observed in individuals with congenital cataracts (PMID: 25403472, 26694549). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. -
