Genes affected
MYOC (HGNC:7610): (myocilin) MYOC encodes the protein myocilin, which is believed to have a role in cytoskeletal function. MYOC is expressed in many occular tissues, including the trabecular meshwork, and was revealed to be the trabecular meshwork glucocorticoid-inducible response protein (TIGR). The trabecular meshwork is a specialized eye tissue essential in regulating intraocular pressure, and mutations in MYOC have been identified as the cause of hereditary juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma.

Glaucoma 1, open angle, E Benign:1
Likely benign, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen Glaucoma Variant Curation Expert PanelNov 09, 2022The c.303A>G variant in MYOC is a synonymous variant (p.Gln101=). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant was in the African/African American population of gnomAD (v2.1.1) = 0.0003608 (9 alleles out of 24,944), which did not meet the PM2_Supporting allele frequency threshold (<= 0.0001) or the BS1 allele frequency threshold (>= 0.001). This variant was not predicted to affect splicing, as assessed with SpliceAI (<= 0.2), with a CADD score (v1.6) = 0.141 which met the <= 10 threshold for BP4, and the GERP score = -3.2 (threshold < 0), indicating a lack of conservation at this site (BP7). This evidence suggests that the variant does not impact MYOC function. There was no functional evidence predicting a damaging or benign impact of this variant on MYOC function. Although a proband with primary open angle glaucoma had been reported carrying this variant, PM2_Supporting was not met, therefore PS4 did not apply. In summary, this variant met the criteria to receive a score of -2 and to be classified as likely benign (likely benign classification range -2 to -6) for primary open angle glaucoma based on the ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Glaucoma VCEP (v1, 12 Oct 2021): BP4, BP7 -
