Genes affected

SLC45A2 (HGNC:16472): (solute carrier family 45 member 2) This gene encodes a transporter protein that mediates melanin synthesis. The protein is expressed in a high percentage of melanoma cell lines. Mutations in this gene are a cause of oculocutaneous albinism type 4, and polymorphisms in this gene are associated with variations in skin and hair color. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Invitae

Jan 29, 2024

This sequence change results in a frameshift in the SLC45A2 gene (p.Phe525Leufs*12). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 6 amino acid(s) of the SLC45A2 protein and extend the protein by 5 additional amino acid residues. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This frameshift has been observed in individual(s) with oculocutaneous albinism (Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
