Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM1PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000372.5(TYR):​c.230G>A​(p.Arg77Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000595 in 1,614,144 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 (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R77G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected
TYR (HGNC:12442): (tyrosinase) The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the first 2 steps, and at least 1 subsequent step, in the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. The enzyme has both tyrosine hydroxylase and dopa oxidase catalytic activities, and requires copper for function. Mutations in this gene result in oculocutaneous albinism, and nonpathologic polymorphisms result in skin pigmentation variation. The human genome contains a pseudogene similar to the 3' half of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: abnormal protein folding and no in vitro enzyme activity (Dolinksa et al., 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23324268, 2113511, 1642278, 32552793, 10929771, 32427313, 21985232, 34487524, 27775880, 31077556, 28976636) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 77 of the TYR protein (p.Arg77Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs61753185, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 21985232, 31077556). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3776). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TYR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TYR function (PMID: 21985232). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Oculocutaneous albinism Pathogenic:1

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: TYR c.230G>A (p.Arg77Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.4e-05 in 251030 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TYR causing Oculocutaneous Albinism (8.4e-05 vs 0.0056), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.230G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Oculocutaneous Albinism (example, Shah_2015,Takeda_1989). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in diminished catalytical activity in mouse amelanotic melanoma cells (Takeda_1989). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25703744, 2120217). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3776). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The TYR c.230G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg77Gln. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism (see for examples Kikuchi et al. 1990. PubMed ID: 2113511; Kono et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 21985232; Marti et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28976636). Functional studies support the pathogenicity of this variant (Dolinska et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27775880; Kono et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 219852320). This variant is reported in 0.012% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/3776/). Given all the evidence, we interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
