Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BA1BS3_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.227G>A variant in MYOC is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arginine by Lysine at amino acid 76 (p.Arg76Lys). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant was in the South Asian population of gnomAD (v2.1.1) = 0.3468, which met the ≥ 0.01 threshold set for BA1 (10,613 alleles out of 30,602, meeting the threshold of ≥ 5 of at least 2,000 observed alleles). The REVEL score = 0.203, which was neither above nor below the thresholds for PP3 (≥ 0.7) or BP4 (≤ 0.15), predicting a damaging or benign impact on MYOC function. Previous studies (PMIDs: 16466712 and 35196929) demonstrated that the Arg76Lys protein had similar solubility and secretion levels to wild type myocilin protein and met the OddsPath threshold for BS3_Moderate (< 0.23), indicating that this variant did not impact protein function. As BA1 was met, PP1 did not apply and segregations were not counted. Although probands with juvenile or primary open angle glaucoma have been reported carrying this variant, PM2_Supporting was not met, therefore PS4 did not apply. In summary, this variant was classified as benign (BA1 is a stand-alone criterion for a benign level of pathogenicity) for juvenile open angle glaucoma based on the ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Glaucoma VCEP (v1, 12 Oct 2021): BA1, BS3_Moderate.

Genes affected

MYOC (HGNC:7610): (myocilin) MYOC encodes the protein myocilin, which is believed to have a role in cytoskeletal function. MYOC is expressed in many occular tissues, including the trabecular meshwork, and was revealed to be the trabecular meshwork glucocorticoid-inducible response protein (TIGR). The trabecular meshwork is a specialized eye tissue essential in regulating intraocular pressure, and mutations in MYOC have been identified as the cause of hereditary juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma.

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

The c.227G>A variant in MYOC is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arginine by Lysine at amino acid 76 (p.Arg76Lys). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant was in the South Asian population of gnomAD (v2.1.1) = 0.3468, which met the >= 0.01 threshold set for BA1 (10,613 alleles out of 30,602, meeting the threshold of >= 5 of at least 2,000 observed alleles). The REVEL score = 0.203, which was neither above nor below the thresholds for PP3 (>= 0.7) or BP4 (<= 0.15), predicting a damaging or benign impact on MYOC function. Previous studies (PMIDs: 16466712 and 35196929) demonstrated that the Arg76Lys protein had similar solubility and secretion levels to wild type myocilin protein and met the OddsPath threshold for BS3_Moderate (< 0.23), indicating that this variant did not impact protein function. As BA1 was met, PP1 did not apply and segregations were not counted. Although probands with juvenile or primary open angle glaucoma have been reported carrying this variant, PM2_Supporting was not met, therefore PS4 did not apply. In summary, this variant was classified as benign (BA1 is a stand-alone criterion for a benign level of pathogenicity) for juvenile open angle glaucoma based on the ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Glaucoma VCEP (v1, 12 Oct 2021): BA1, BS3_Moderate. -
