Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_005267.5(GJA8):c.566C>T(p.Pro189Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,882 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P189S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

GJA8 (HGNC:4281): (gap junction protein alpha 8) This gene encodes a transmembrane connexin protein that is necessary for lens growth and maturation of lens fiber cells. The encoded protein is a component of gap junction channels and functions in a calcium and pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene have been associated with zonular pulverulent cataracts, nuclear progressive cataracts, and cataract-microcornea syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Extracellular (size 27) in uniprot entity CXA8_HUMAN there are 11 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_005267.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-147908520-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.979
• PP5: Variant 1-147908521-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-147908521-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 68465.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
