Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000851380 SCV001274690 uncertain significance Tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism 2017-07-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
GeneDx RCV001578073 SCV001805600 pathogenic not provided 2020-07-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: reduced melanin content in transfected cells (Wu et al., 2020). Clinical manifestations of oculocutaneous albinism were also observed in rhesus macaques with the variant in the homozygous state (Wu et al., 2020).; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31196117, 32259106, 31229681, 23824587)

Invitae RCV001578073 SCV002237816 pathogenic not provided 2023-12-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 788 of the OCA2 protein (p.Ser788Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs147736385, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 31196117, 31813138; SOURCE: 31813138). 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: 627604). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on OCA2 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Ser788 amino acid residue in OCA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with OCA2-related conditions (PMID: 29345414), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
