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]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg200 amino acid residue in VSX2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10932181, 17661825). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 200 of the VSX2 protein (p.Arg200Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912543, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with microphthalmia (PMID: 10932181). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14860). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects VSX2 function (PMID: 10932181, 23028343, 27013732). -
