Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_021954.4(GJA3):​c.616T>A​(p.Phe206Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. F206L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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)
• early-onset nuclear cataract

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• 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 early-onset nuclear cataract, pulverulent cataract, early-onset posterior polar cataract, cataract 14 multiple types.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.932
