Genes affected
OCA2 (HGNC:8101): (OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein) This gene encodes the human homolog of the mouse p (pink-eyed dilution) gene. The encoded protein is believed to be an integral membrane protein involved in small molecule transport, specifically tyrosine, which is a precursor to melanin synthesis. It is involved in mammalian pigmentation, where it may control skin color variation and act as a determinant of brown or blue eye color. Mutations in this gene result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 18, 2023Intronic +5 splice site variant in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease, and both splice predictors and evolutionary conservation support a deleterious effect, although in the absence of functional evidence the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 27, 2024This sequence change falls in intron 12 of the OCA2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the OCA2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs757119713, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of oculocutaneous albinism (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 193985). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 15, 2023Variant summary: OCA2 c.1239+5G>C alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant weakens the canonical 5' donor site and three predict the variant abolishes a downstream cryptic 5' donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251376 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1239+5G>C in individuals affected with Oculocutaneous Albinism and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported in the literature. Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Three submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance and two submitters, one citing internal data, classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
