Genes affected
MIP (HGNC:7103): (major intrinsic protein of lens fiber) Major intrinsic protein is a member of the water-transporting aquaporins as well as the original member of the MIP family of channel proteins. The function of the fiber cell membrane protein encoded by this gene is undetermined, yet this protein is speculated to play a role in intracellular communication. The MIP protein is expressed in the ocular lens and is required for correct lens function. This gene has been mapped among aquaporins AQP2, AQP5, and AQP6, in a potential gene cluster at 12q13.

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 06, 2021The c.713A>C (p.K238T) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the MIP gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 713, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 238 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Cataract 15 multiple types Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 24, 2021This sequence change replaces lysine with threonine at codon 238 of the MIP protein (p.Lys238Thr). The lysine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between lysine and threonine. This variant is present in population databases (rs755752015, ExAC 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MIP-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
