Genes affected
OCA2 (HGNC:8101): (OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein) This gene encodes the human homolog of the mouse p (pink-eyed dilution) gene. The encoded protein is believed to be an integral membrane protein involved in small molecule transport, specifically tyrosine, which is a precursor to melanin synthesis. It is involved in mammalian pigmentation, where it may control skin color variation and act as a determinant of brown or blue eye color. Mutations in this gene result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 09, 2022This sequence change falls in intron 21 of the OCA2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the OCA2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs368772032, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of oculocutaneous albinism (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436091). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
