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]

Tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratoire de Génétique Moléculaire, CHU Bordeaux-- -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 09, 2024This sequence change affects codon 360 of the OCA2 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the OCA2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs373775562, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 37650133; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 255717). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (PMID: 37650133). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
