Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3
The NM_022081.6(HPS4):c.461A>C(p.His154Pro) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H154R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
HPS4 (HGNC:15844): (HPS4 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 3 subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein component of biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complexes (BLOC). BLOC complexes are important for the formation of endosomal-lysosomal organelles such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Mutations in this gene result in subtype 4 of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a form of albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
