Genes affected

CRYAA (HGNC:2388): (crystallin alpha A) Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. Post-translational modifications decrease the ability to chaperone. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40 subunits; the alpha-A and alpha-B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Alpha-A and alpha-B gene products are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 12 of the CRYAA protein (p.Arg12Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has been reported to affect CRYAA protein function (PMID: 22140512, 22347476). This variant has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant congenital cataracts (PMID: 17724170, 19503744, 22045060, 23508780) and segregates with disease in families (PMID: 19503744, 23508780). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68459). -
