Genes affected

CRYAA (HGNC:2388): (crystallin alpha A) Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. Post-translational modifications decrease the ability to chaperone. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40 subunits; the alpha-A and alpha-B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Alpha-A and alpha-B gene products are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

PM1

In a chain Alpha-crystallin A(1-172) (size 171) in uniprot entity CRYAA_HUMAN there are 12 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (92%) in NM_000394.4

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 11 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 0 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.34778 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: NaN (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to early-onset lamellar cataract, cataract - microcornea syndrome, early-onset nuclear cataract, early-onset anterior polar cataract, total early-onset cataract, cataract 9 multiple types.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.933

The c.70G>A (p.D24N) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the CRYAA gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 70, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 24 to be replaced by an asparagine (N). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
