Genes affected

GJA3 (HGNC:4277): (gap junction protein alpha 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a connexin and is a component of lens fiber gap junctions. Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

GJA3 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• cataract 14 multiple types

  Inheritance: AD Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: G2P, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_021954.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 27 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.7112 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.026578 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cataract 14 multiple types, early-onset nuclear cataract, pulverulent cataract, early-onset posterior polar cataract.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.919
• PP5: Variant 13-20143284-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20143284-C-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 50942.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
