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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago	Feb 26, 2015	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	May 22, 2022	The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.008%). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.96; 3Cnet: 1.00). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000211766). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Centre for Human Genetics, University of Kinshasa	Aug 06, 2022	This missense variant replaces a conserved Threonine residue with a Methionine. This change is predicted damaging by the vast majority of prediction algorithms. This variant is very rare with no homozygous in gnomAD (AF: 0.0000636), was submitted to ClinVar by multiple submitters mostly classifying this variant as pathogenic/Likely pathogenic (VCV000211766.10), and is mentioned in at least three publications (PMID: 29345414‚ PMID: 10649493). Previous ClinVar submissions contain information regarding functional analysis demonstrating the pathogenic role of this variant. We identified this variant in a heterozygous state in one patient with Tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This patient was heterozygous for the classic 2.7 deletion in the OCA2 gene. segregation analysis showed that the variant was in trans to the deletion in our patient. This variant was classified as pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines -

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 11, 2024	This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 404 of the OCA2 protein (p.Thr404Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs144812594, gnomAD 0.07%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ocular albinism (PMID: 23504663, 24361966, 27734839). 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: 211766). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt OCA2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 27, 2023	Observed as a single heterozygous variant or with a variant of uncertain significance, phase unknown, in patients with oculocutaneous albinism in published literature (Gronskov et al., 2009, Simeonov et al., 2013; Rimoldi et al., 2014); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23824587, 33144682, 24361966, 28266639, 23504663, 27734839, 36116698, 7762554, 34838614, 29345414, 19060277) -

Variant summary: OCA2 c.1211C>T (p.Thr404Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Citrate transporter-like domain (IPR004680) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 251456 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in OCA2 causing Oculocutaneous Albinism (6.4e-05 vs 0.0043), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1211C>T has been reported in the literature in the presumed compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with Oculocutaneous Albinism (example, Mauri_2017, Wei_2022, Simeonov_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27734839, 24361966, 28266639, 23504663, 34838614). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 211766). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The OCA2 c.1211C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr404Met. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous and homozygous states in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) (Rimoldi et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24361966; Shahzad et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28266639). This variant has also been reported in a patient with OCA, but a second causative variant was not found (Grønskov et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19060277, Table 3). At PreventionGenetics, this variant along with a second pathogenic variant has been found in several affected individuals. This variant is classified as likely pathogenic by several independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/211766/). Given the evidence, we classify c.1211C>T (p.Thr404Met) as pathogenic. -
