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]

Published functional studies have been inconsistent as to the effect of the R422W variant, with some studies showing only a slight decrease in enzyme activity and others showing no retained enzyme activity (Dolinska et al., 2014; Mondal et al., 2016; Dolinska et al., 2017; Farney et al., 2018); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31589614, 33177702, 32581362, 28976636, 28451379, 13680365, 30868138, 28667292, 27537549, 27775880, 24392141, 32898648) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 422 of the TYR protein (p.Arg422Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs749979474, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of TYR-related conditions (PMID: 13680365, 28667292, 28976636, 29345414, 32581362; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 437987). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on TYR protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on TYR function (PMID: 24392141, 27537549, 27775880). This variant disrupts the p.Arg422 amino acid residue in TYR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1900309, 31077556). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
