Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_005208.5(CRYBA1):​c.215+1G>A variant causes a splice donor, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000254 in 1,573,234 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV001759095: "In vitro functional studies show that the c.215+1G>A variant causes a splice defect in which the mutant mRNA skips both exons 3 and 4, escaping nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Skipping these exons results in an in-frame deletion of the mRNA and synthesis of an unstable protein." PMID:26851658" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

Genes affected
CRYBA1 (HGNC:2394): (crystallin beta A1) Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. Beta-crystallins, the most heterogeneous, differ by the presence of the C-terminal extension (present in the basic group, none in the acidic group). Beta-crystallins form aggregates of different sizes and are able to self-associate to form dimers or to form heterodimers with other beta-crystallins. This gene, a beta acidic group member, encodes two proteins (crystallin, beta A3 and crystallin, beta A1) from a single mRNA, the latter protein is 17 aa shorter than crystallin, beta A3 and is generated by use of an alternate translation initiation site. Deletion of exons 3 and 4 causes the autosomal dominant disease 'zonular cataract with sutural opacities'. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV001759095: "In vitro functional studies show that the c.215+1G>A variant causes a splice defect in which the mutant mRNA skips both exons 3 and 4, escaping nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Skipping these exons results in an in-frame deletion of the mRNA and synthesis of an unstable protein." PMID:26851658; SCV004709532: Functional studies have shown that this variant leads to skipping of both exons 3 and 4 and results in the formation of an unstable βA3/A1-crystallin protein (Ma et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26851658).
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 17-29250301-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-29250301-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 521851.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
