Genes affected

BFSP2 (HGNC:1041): (beaded filament structural protein 2) More than 99% of the vertebrate ocular lens is comprised of terminally differentiated lens fiber cells. Two lens-specific intermediate filament-like proteins, the protein product of this gene (phakinin), and filensin, are expressed only after fiber cell differentiation has begun. Both proteins are found in a structurally unique cytoskeletal element that is referred to as the beaded filament (BF). Mutations in this gene have been associated with juvenile-onset, progressive cataracts and Dowling-Meara epidermolysis bullosa simplex. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-133400245-CG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-133400245-CG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 646545.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 646545). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BFSP2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val56Serfs*3) in the BFSP2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BFSP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12573667, 14638724, 21836522). -
