Genes affected
CRYBB2 (HGNC:2398): (crystallin beta B2) Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. Beta-crystallins, the most heterogeneous, differ by the presence of the C-terminal extension (present in the basic group, none in the acidic group). Beta-crystallins form aggregates of different sizes and are able to self-associate to form dimers or to form heterodimers with other beta-crystallins. This gene, a beta basic group member, is part of a gene cluster with beta-A4, beta-B1, and beta-B3. A chain-terminating mutation was found to cause type 2 cerulean cataracts.

Cataract 3 multiple types Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 09, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln155*) in the CRYBB2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 51 amino acid(s) of the CRYBB2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant congenital cataract (PMID: 9158139, 27385965, 29395391). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16949). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionMay 22, 2022The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10%. Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 15889016). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least 7 similarly affected relatives/individuals in at least two unrelated families (PMID: 11424921, 17234267). The variant has been reported to be associated with CRYBB2 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000016949 / PMID: 9158139). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 29, 2022Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: reduced protein-protein interaction (Liu et al., 2005); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 51 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in HGMD; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11424921, 16179907, 28839118, 21245961, 9158139, 8812489, 17234267, 2240043, 10634616, 15889016, 24319337, 18449377, 28025620, 22846113, 19321936, 29395391, 27385965, 29652984, 30078984) -
CRYBB2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 27, 2023The CRYBB2 c.463C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln155*). This variant segregated with autosomal dominant cerulean cataract in multiple families (Litt et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9158139; Messina-Baas et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27385965; Javadiyan et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28839118; Ching et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29395391; Zhang et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30078984). In addition, there is evidence in the literature supporting that this variant likely arose from a gene conversion event between the CRYBB2 gene and its pseudogene, CRYBB2P1 (Vanita et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11424921; Bateman et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17234267). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in CRYBB2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
