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 submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 04, 2023This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 441 of the OCA2 protein (p.Asp441Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs147816326, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 28266639; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 502704). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects OCA2 function (PMID: 28266639). This variant disrupts the p.Asp441 amino acid residue in OCA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 31, 2023Variant summary: OCA2 c.1322A>G (p.Asp441Gly) 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 8e-06 in 250048 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1322A>G has been reported in the literature as an uninformative genotype (i.e. zygosity not specified) in at least one affected individual from a family with with Oculocutaneous Albinism (Shahzad_2017). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Oculocutaneous Albinism. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28266639). Five submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as either VUS (n=3) or likely pathogenic (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
