Genes affected

OCLN (HGNC:8104): (occludin) This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that is required for cytokine-induced regulation of the tight junction paracellular permeability barrier. Mutations in this gene are thought to be a cause of band-like calcification with simplified gyration and polymicrogyria (BLC-PMG), an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder that is also known as pseudo-TORCH syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene is present 1.5 Mb downstream on the q arm of chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]

OCLN Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• pseudo-TORCH syndrome 1

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, MODERATE Submitted by: PanelApp Australia, G2P, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Ambry Genetics
• pseudo-TORCH syndrome

  Inheritance: AR Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
