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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.026221693 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.4, offset of 42, new splice context is: gcgGTaacc. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
PP5

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 11 of the OCA2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in OCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19865097, 21541274). This variant is present in population databases (rs371963034, gnomAD 0.06%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 28976636, 31077556). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436099). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The OCA2 c.1182+1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism (Marti et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28976636; Zhong et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31077556). This variant is reported in 0.056% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice donor site in OCA2 are expected to be pathogenic, and this variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/436099/). Given all the evidence, we interpret c.1182+1G>A as pathogenic. -
