Genes affected

MLPH (HGNC:29643): (melanophilin) This gene encodes a member of the exophilin subfamily of Rab effector proteins. The protein forms a ternary complex with the small Ras-related GTPase Rab27A in its GTP-bound form and the motor protein myosin Va. A similar protein complex in mouse functions to tether pigment-producing organelles called melanosomes to the actin cytoskeleton in melanocytes, and is required for visible pigmentation in the hair and skin. A mutation in this gene results in Griscelli syndrome type 3, which is characterized by a silver-gray hair color and abnormal pigment distribution in the hair shaft. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-237510777-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-237510777-AC-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2772757.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys107Alafs*7) in the MLPH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MLPH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22711375, 32864751). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLPH-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
