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]

The CRYBA1 c.215+1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in the heterozygous state in multiple patients with cataracts (Kannabiran et al 1998. PubMed ID: 9788845; Gu et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20142846; Zhang et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30078984). 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). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice donor site in CRYBA1 are expected to be pathogenic and additional variants have been documented at the c.215+1 and +2 positions in patients with cataracts (c.215+1G>C/T and c.215+2T>G) (Human Gene Mutation Database). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Reported previously in several large families affected with various phenotypes including zonular cataracts with sutural opacities (CCZS) (Kannabiran et al., 1998), posterior polar cataracts (Gu et al., 2010), polymorphic congenital cataract (Yu et al., 2012); 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 (Ma et al., 2016); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15016766, 14693780, 21686330, 24926697, 30078984, 22919269, 20142846, 9788845, 21139983, 18587492, 26851658, 25525159, 28149769, 25461968) -
