Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_016180.5(SLC45A2):c.986del(p.Thr329LysfsTer69) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T329T) has been classified as Benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

SLC45A2 (HGNC:16472): (solute carrier family 45 member 2) This gene encodes a transporter protein that mediates melanin synthesis. The protein is expressed in a high percentage of melanoma cell lines. Mutations in this gene are a cause of oculocutaneous albinism type 4, and polymorphisms in this gene are associated with variations in skin and hair color. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-33954406-TG-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-33954406-TG-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4500.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-33954406-TG-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
