Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_017541.4(CRYGS):​c.53G>T​(p.Gly18Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G18D) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

CRYGS (HGNC:2417): (crystallin gamma S) 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. This gene encodes a protein initially considered to be a beta-crystallin but the encoded protein is monomeric and has greater sequence similarity to other gamma-crystallins. This gene encodes the most significant gamma-crystallin in adult eye lens tissue. Whether due to aging or mutations in specific genes, gamma-crystallins have been involved in cataract formation.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain Beta/gamma crystallin 'Greek key' 1 (size 38) in uniprot entity CRYGS_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (75%) in NM_017541.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-186539566-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2734603.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 7 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.2428 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.85394 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to early-onset sutural cataract, cataract 20 multiple types, early-onset lamellar cataract.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 3-186539566-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-186539566-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 16936.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
