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]

The SLC45A2 c.1567_1574dupGCTCTCTT (p.Phe525LeufsTer16) variant results in a frameshift and is predicted to cause an elongation of the protein. This variant has been reported in a heterozygous state in one patient with oculocutaneous albinism (Rundshagen et al. 2004). The p.Phe525LeufsTer16 variant is not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, or the Exome Aggregation Consortium in a region of good sequencing coverage, thus the variant is presumed to be rare. Based on the limited evidence and the potential impact of frameshift variants, the p.Phe525LeufsTer16 variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for oculocutaneous albinism. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
