Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS1_Moderate PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_000275.3(OCA2):c.2037G>T(p.Trp679Cys) 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. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Likely pathogenicin ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W679R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000275.3 (OCA2) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar as 960
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_000275.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr15-27926171-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1678658.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.981
