Genes affected

SLC45A2 (HGNC:16472): (solute carrier family 45 member 2) This gene encodes a transporter protein that mediates melanin synthesis. The protein is expressed in a high percentage of melanoma cell lines. Mutations in this gene are a cause of oculocutaneous albinism type 4, and polymorphisms in this gene are associated with variations in skin and hair color. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu425Trpfs*9) in the SLC45A2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SLC45A2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21458243, 26573111). This variant is present in population databases (rs759411189, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SLC45A2 related conditions (PMID: 26818737, 31077556). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209971). 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.
