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]

Previously reported in the published literature in a patient with OCA type 2 who also harbored a second OCA2 variant, however parental studies were not performed to determine the phase of these two variants, and functional studies were not performed (Lee et al., 1994); Observed in 184/282774 (0.065%) alleles in large population cohorts, and multiple individuals were reported to be homozygous (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 7874125) -

The OCA2 c.1153T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Phe385Ile. This variant has been reported along with a 2nd OCA2 variant an individual with oculocutaneous albinism (Lee et al 1994. PubMed ID: 7874125). This variant is reported in 0.70% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD, including three homozygotes (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/15-28234776-A-T), indicating it is fairly common in this population. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
