Genes affected
VSX2 (HGNC:1975): (visual system homeobox 2) This gene encodes a homeobox protein originally described as a retina-specific transcription factor. Mutations in this gene are associated with microphthalmia, cataracts and iris abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Submissions by phenotype

Isolated microphthalmia 2 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 29, 2021The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VSX2-related conditions. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys29*) in the VSX2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in VSX2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20414678). -
