Genes affected

CRYAA (HGNC:2388): (crystallin alpha A) Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. Post-translational modifications decrease the ability to chaperone. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40 subunits; the alpha-A and alpha-B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Alpha-A and alpha-B gene products are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 49 of the CRYAA protein (p.Arg49Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs74315441, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant CRYAA-related conditions (PMID: 14512969). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16959). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CRYAA function (PMID: 14512969, 18056999, 22140512). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
