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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP5: Variant 11-89178603-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-89178603-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 99575.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr11-89178603-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr11-89178603-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr11-89178603-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3665866). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Sep 01, 2022	The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.039%). Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000099575). The variant has been reported with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in multiple similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 18463683 , 27734839). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Arg217Trp) has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000003795). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 31, 2024	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 217 of the TYR protein (p.Arg217Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs61754365, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 10987646, 28976636, 29345414). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 99575). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TYR protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg217 amino acid residue in TYR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1642278, 10987646, 27734839, 28266639). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

clinical testing

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Apr 28, 2017

The TYR c.650G>A (p.Arg217Gln) missense variant has been reported in at least three studies and is found in a compound heterozygous state in at least five individuals with oculocutaneous albinism, with at least one individual carrying a pathogenic variant in trans (Wang et al. 2005; Hutton and Spritz 2008; Grønskov et al. 2009). The variant was not found in 50 healthy unrelated control individuals (Grønskov et al. 2009) and is reported at a frequency of 0.00048 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Two additional variants in the Arg217 residue (p.Arg217Trp and p.Arg217Gly) have been reported in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism in a compound heterozygous state (Hutton and Spritz 2008). Based on the evidence, the p.Arg217Gln variant is classified as likely pathogenic for oculocutaneous albinism. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
