Genes affected

CRYGC (HGNC:2410): (crystallin gamma C) This gene encodes a member of the beta/gamma-crystallin family of proteins. Crystallins constitute the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintain the transparency and refractive index of the lens. This gene and several family members are present in a gene cluster on chromosome 2. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause multiple types of cataract, including Coppock-like cataract and zonular pulverulent cataract, among others. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

The heterozygous p.Arg168Trp variant in CRYGC has been identified in 2 relatives from 1 family with cataracts (PMID: 12011157), but has also been identified in >1% of chromosomes and 7 homozygotes by ExAC (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign for autosomal dominant cataracts. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 168 of the CRYGC protein (p.Arg168Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs28931604, gnomAD 1.2%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital cataracts (PMID: 17679936, 18587492). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16945). 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 disruptive. 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. -
