Genes affected

GJA3 (HGNC:4277): (gap junction protein alpha 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a connexin and is a component of lens fiber gap junctions. Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.82).

BP7

Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.267 with no splicing effect.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000263 (4/152148) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.000774 (4/5168). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000263. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 3 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 13 AD gene.
