Genes affected
PAX6 (HGNC:8620): (paired box 6) This gene encodes paired box protein Pax-6, one of many human homologs of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. In addition to a conserved paired box domain, a hallmark feature of this gene family, the encoded protein also contains a homeobox domain. Both domains are known to bind DNA and function as regulators of gene transcription. Activity of this protein is key in the development of neural tissues, particularly the eye. This gene is regulated by multiple enhancers located up to hundreds of kilobases distant from this locus. Mutations in this gene or in the enhancer regions can cause ocular disorders such as aniridia and Peter's anomaly. Use of alternate promoters and alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Interestingly, inclusion of a particular alternate coding exon has been shown to increase the length of the paired box domain and alter its DNA binding specificity. Consequently, isoforms that carry the shorter paired box domain regulate a different set of genes compared to the isoforms carrying the longer paired box domain. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2019]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpFeb 17, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg208 amino acid residue in PAX6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with PAX6-related conditions (PMID: 10234503), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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 disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372441). This missense change has been observed in individuals with aniridia or congenital cataracts (PMID: 8364574, 22361317). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs757259413, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 208 of the PAX6 protein (p.Arg208Trp). -
PAX6-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 01, 2023The PAX6 c.664C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg222Trp. This variant can also be designated c.622C>T (p.Arg208Trp) in transcript NM_001258464.1. This variant has been reported multiple times in individuals with PAX6-related disease, and in some cases was confirmed de novo (reported as c.622C>T p.Arg208Trp in Patel et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29450879; Cross et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32360764; Chesneau et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35170016). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-31816238-G-A). This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/372441/). Given all the evidence, we interpret c.664C>T (p.Arg222Trp) as pathogenic. -
