Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000596631 SCV002261951 pathogenic not provided 2024-09-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 441 of the OCA2 protein (p.Asp441Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs147816326, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 28266639; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 502704). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt OCA2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects OCA2 function (PMID: 28266639). This variant disrupts the p.Asp441 amino acid residue in OCA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (internal data). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV003235306 SCV003934424 uncertain significance not specified 2023-05-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: OCA2 c.1322A>G (p.Asp441Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the citrate transporter-like domain (IPR004680) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250048 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1322A>G has been reported in the literature as an uninformative genotype (i.e. zygosity not specified) in at least one affected individual from a family with with Oculocutaneous Albinism (Shahzad_2017). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Oculocutaneous Albinism. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28266639). Five submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as either VUS (n=3) or likely pathogenic (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
