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. -

Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in an in-frame deletion of exon 11; Deletions involving coding exons in this gene are frequently reported as pathogenic, regardless of frame prediction (HGMD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 28976636, 31196117, 31229681, 34838614, 31077556, 21458243) -

OCA2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
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. -
