Genes affected

TYR (HGNC:12442): (tyrosinase) The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the first 2 steps, and at least 1 subsequent step, in the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. The enzyme has both tyrosine hydroxylase and dopa oxidase catalytic activities, and requires copper for function. Mutations in this gene result in oculocutaneous albinism, and nonpathologic polymorphisms result in skin pigmentation variation. The human genome contains a pseudogene similar to the 3' half of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Variant summary: TYR c.446A>C (p.Tyr149Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251434 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.446A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Oculocutaneous Albinism, however, they also carried a second homozygous pathogenic variant in the TYR gene : c.346C>T, p.Arg116* suggesting a benign role for c.44A>C (Ashaat_2024). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Oculocutaneous Albinism. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 39251934). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1901265). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 149 of the TYR protein (p.Tyr149Ser). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TYR-related conditions. 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 TYR protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
