Genes affected

CRYAB (HGNC:2389): (crystallin alpha B) Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40 subunits; the alpha-A and alpha-B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Alpha-A and alpha-B gene products are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs. Elevated expression of alpha-B crystallin occurs in many neurological diseases; a missense mutation cosegregated in a family with a desmin-related myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2019]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Arg163Cys variant (CRYAB) has not been previously reported in the literature , but has been listed in dbSNP without frequency information (rs186242388). This variant has been identified by our laboratory in one individual with DCM and sk eletal myopathy. Arginine (Arg) at position 163 is moderately conserved in evolu tionarily distant species, and this information is insufficient to predict if a change would impact the protein. Computational tools (AlignGVGD, SIFT) predict t hat a change to cysteine (Cys) would not impact the protein, though the accuracy of these tools is unknown. Additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Arg163Cys variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 163 of the CRYAB protein (p.Arg163Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs186242388, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257, 32880476). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44238). 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 tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.487C>T (p.R163C) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the CRYAB gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 487, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 163 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
