Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_005360.5(MAF):​c.863G>C​(p.Arg288Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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 Pathogenic (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R288G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

MAF (HGNC:6776): (MAF bZIP transcription factor) The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding, leucine zipper-containing transcription factor that acts as a homodimer or as a heterodimer. Depending on the binding site and binding partner, the encoded protein can be a transcriptional activator or repressor. This protein plays a role in the regulation of several cellular processes, including embryonic lens fiber cell development, increased T-cell susceptibility to apoptosis, and chondrocyte terminal differentiation. Defects in this gene are a cause of juvenile-onset pulverulent cataract as well as congenital cerulean cataract 4 (CCA4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_005360.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 22 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 7 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.1779 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.24854 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cerulean cataract, Fine-Lubinsky syndrome, cataract 21 multiple types, Ayme-Gripp syndrome, pulverulent cataract, cataract - microcornea syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.974
• PP5: Variant 16-79599040-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-79599040-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 13231.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
