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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardMay 02, 2023The homozygous c.1037+1G>A variant in OCLN was identified by our study in two siblings with intellectual disability and seizures (PMID: 35769956). The c.1037+1G>A variant in OCLN has been previously reported in one individual with pseudo-TORCH syndrome type 1 (PMID: 34374989) but has been identified in 0.01% (1/9210) of Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs748442113). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 436101) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by the University of Chicago Genetic Services Laboratory. The individual previously reported (PMID: 34374989) and the siblings identified by our study (PMID: 35769956) were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the c.1037+1G>A variant is pathogenic. This variant is located in the 5' splice region. Computational tools do suggest an impact to splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Loss of function of the OCLN gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive pseudo-TORCH syndrome type 1. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive pseudo-TORCH syndrome type 1. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3 (Richards 2015). -
