Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_005267.5(GJA8):​c.20T>C​(p.Leu7Pro) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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. L7M) has been classified as Likely benign.

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

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992
• PP5: Variant 1-147907975-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-147907975-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 2733979.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Dept. Genetics and Cancer, Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania	Jan 21, 2023	Variant identified and curated during a GJA8 specific review of the literature in relation to pediatric or congenital cataract. ACMG-AMP criteria applied: PS4(Supporting), PM1(Supporting), PM2(Supporting), PP1, PP3. Original variant report: PMID:25403472;29770612. Gene review and curation guidelines are outlined in: https://doi.org/10.1080/17469899.2023.2160320 -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 05, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJA8 protein function. This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant congenital cataracts (PMID: 25403472, 33816482; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 7 of the GJA8 protein (p.Leu7Pro). -
