Genes affected

CRYAA (HGNC:2388): (crystallin alpha A) Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. Post-translational modifications decrease the ability to chaperone. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40 subunits; the alpha-A and alpha-B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Alpha-A and alpha-B gene products are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

CRYAA (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Alpha-crystallin A(1-172) (size 171) in uniprot entity CRYAA_HUMAN there are 32 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000394.4
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr21-43169259-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.943
• PP5: Variant 21-43169260-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-43169260-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2574040.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr21-43169260-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
