Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001119695 SCV001278125 uncertain significance Tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism 2018-01-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.
Fulgent Genetics, Fulgent Genetics RCV002491371 SCV002775922 uncertain significance Tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism; SKIN/HAIR/EYE PIGMENTATION 1, BLUE/NONBLUE EYES 2021-07-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing
Invitae RCV002556557 SCV003515795 uncertain significance not provided 2022-07-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 421 of the OCA2 protein (p.Arg421Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs372899234, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with OCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 887143). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant disrupts the p.Arg421 amino acid residue in OCA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with OCA2-related conditions (PMID: 29345414, 31077556), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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.
