Genes affected
MLPH (HGNC:29643): (melanophilin) This gene encodes a member of the exophilin subfamily of Rab effector proteins. The protein forms a ternary complex with the small Ras-related GTPase Rab27A in its GTP-bound form and the motor protein myosin Va. A similar protein complex in mouse functions to tether pigment-producing organelles called melanosomes to the actin cytoskeleton in melanocytes, and is required for visible pigmentation in the hair and skin. A mutation in this gene results in Griscelli syndrome type 3, which is characterized by a silver-gray hair color and abnormal pigment distribution in the hair shaft. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 24, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg24*) in the MLPH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MLPH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22711375, 32864751). This variant is present in population databases (rs140470472, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Griscelli syndrome (PMID: 32864751). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 636328). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
