Genes affected
CRYAB (HGNC:2389): (crystallin alpha B) 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. 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. Elevated expression of alpha-B crystallin occurs in many neurological diseases; a missense mutation cosegregated in a family with a desmin-related myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2019]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.59).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000505 (71/1407022) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.00175 (69/39452). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00142. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 35 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 24. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 71 AD gene.

Myofibrillar myopathy 2 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
