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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been previously reported as de novo in a similarly affected individual (PMID: 30904718). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000931475 /PMID: 30904718 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 780 of the OCA2 protein (p.Gly780Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs141949212, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ocular albinism and/or oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 28041643, 28976636, 29345414; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436090). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: OCA2 c.2339G>A (p.Gly780Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens the canonical 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 251398 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in OCA2 causing Oculocutaneous Albinism (4e-05 vs 0.0043), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2339G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple bi-allelic individuals affected with Oculocutaneous Albinism (example: Lasseaux_OCA2_PCMR_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29345414). Ten submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The OCA2 c.2339G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly780Asp. This variant has been reported in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism (Table S2, patient G004719, Carss et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28041643; Marti et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28976636; Table S3, Lasseaux et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29345414). Additionally, at PreventionGenetics, we have identified this variant, along with a second pathogenic OCA2 variant in at least six unrelated patients with oculocutaneous albinism. This variant is reported in 0.060% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD, and has been classified as likely pathogenic and pathogenic by numerous labs in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/436090/). Given the evidence, we interpret c.2339G>A (p.Gly780Asp) as pathogenic. -
