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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 11, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 299 of the TYR protein (p.Arg299His). This variant is present in population databases (rs61754375, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 1642278, 28112372, 28266639). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3796). 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 expected to disrupt TYR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Oculocutaneous albinism Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 08, 2023Variant summary: TYR c.896G>A (p.Arg299His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Tyrosinase copper-binding domain (IPR002227) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.8e-05 in 251208 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TYR causing Oculocutaneous Albinism (6.8e-05 vs 0.0056), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.896G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple bi-alleleic individuals affected with Oculocutaneous Albinism (example: Lin_2014). Other Variants affecting this residue (p.Arg299Ser, p.Arg299Cys) have been classified pathogenic in ClinVar. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24721949). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
