Genes affected

CRYBA4 (HGNC:2396): (crystallin beta A4) 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, is part of a gene cluster with beta-B1, beta-B2, and beta-B3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -21 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.56).

BP6

Variant 22-26628311-A-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr22-26628311-A-T is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 474086.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

BP7

Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.253 with no splicing effect.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00226 (344/152112) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.0189 (289/15288). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0171. There are 2 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 160 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AD,AR gene
