Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 3P and 6B. PM5PP2BP4BP6BS1

The NM_005267.5(GJA8):c.19C>A(p.Leu7Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000143 in 1,614,024 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L7P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

GJA8 (HGNC:4281): (gap junction protein alpha 8) This gene encodes a transmembrane connexin protein that is necessary for lens growth and maturation of lens fiber cells. The encoded protein is a component of gap junction channels and functions in a calcium and pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene have been associated with zonular pulverulent cataracts, nuclear progressive cataracts, and cataract-microcornea syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-147907975-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 2733979.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 49 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 13 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: -0.35816 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cataract 1 multiple types, cataract - microcornea syndrome, early-onset nuclear cataract, early-onset sutural cataract, pulverulent cataract, total early-onset cataract.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.37018546).

BP6

Variant 1-147907974-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-147907974-C-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 772629.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000762 (116/152272) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00265 (110/41564). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00224. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 55 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
