Genes affected
CRYBB2 (HGNC:2398): (crystallin beta B2) 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. Beta-crystallins, the most heterogeneous, differ by the presence of the C-terminal extension (present in the basic group, none in the acidic group). Beta-crystallins form aggregates of different sizes and are able to self-associate to form dimers or to form heterodimers with other beta-crystallins. This gene, a beta basic group member, is part of a gene cluster with beta-A4, beta-B1, and beta-B3. A chain-terminating mutation was found to cause type 2 cerulean cataracts.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_000496.3
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 13 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.0723 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.7369 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cataract 3 multiple types, pulverulent cataract, cataract - microcornea syndrome, early-onset posterior subcapsular cataract, total early-onset cataract, early-onset nuclear cataract, cerulean cataract, early-onset sutural cataract.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3034811).
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 7 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
