Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000599844 SCV000713082 pathogenic Oculocutaneous albinism 2017-03-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Pro81Leu (NM_000372.4 c.242C>T) variant in TYR has been reported in 4 hete rozygous, 1 homozygous and 7 compound heterozygous individuals with Oculocutaneo us albinism type 1 related disorders (OCA1) (Giebel 1990, King 2003, Opitz 2004, Hutton 2008, Rooryck 2008), segregated in at least 8 family members in 2 famili es (Giebel 2003), and has been reported at pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID#3 772). This variant has been identified in 0.015% (10/66458) of European chromoso mes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; d bSNP rs28940876). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency . In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for OCA 1 in an autosomal recessive manner based upon biallelic case observations and se gregation in affected individuals.
Ambry Genetics RCV000623980 SCV000741319 pathogenic Inborn genetic diseases 2023-10-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.242C>T (p.P81L) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the TYR gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 242, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 81 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.009% (26/282452) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.017% (22/128894) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified homozygous and likely in trans with a TYR second variant in multiple individuals diagnosed with oculocutaneous albinism (Hutton, 2008; Gao, 2017), as well as in a three individuals from a large family (Giebel, 1990). Another alteration at the same codon, c.241C>T (p.P81S), has been described in one individual with oculocutaneous albinism (King, 2003). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001249700 SCV001423722 pathogenic Oculocutaneous albinism type 1B 2019-10-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Across a selection of the available literature, the TYR c.242C>T (p.Pro81Leu) missense variant has been identified a total of 31 individuals with oculocutaneous albinism type 1, including in three individuals in a homozygous state, in seven individuals in a compound heterozygous state, and in 14 individuals in an assumed compund heterozygous state (Oetting et al. 1991; Giebel et al. 1991; Hutton et al. 2008; King et al. 2013; Goa et al. 2017). The p.Pro81Leu variant was absent from 33 control subjects but is reported at a frequency of 0.000171 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the collective evidence and the application of the ACMG criteria, the p.Pro81Leu variant is classified as pathogenic for oculocutaneous albinism type 1.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000085939 SCV002189499 pathogenic not provided 2024-12-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 81 of the TYR protein (p.Pro81Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs28940876, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 1970634, 8434585, 10987646, 29345414). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3772). 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 TYR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital RCV003993735 SCV004812507 pathogenic Oculocutaneous albinism type 1 2023-04-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change in TYR is predicted to replace proline with leucine at codon 81, p.(Pro81Leu). The proline residue is highly conserved (98/98 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located in the lumenal melanosome domain. There is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and leucine. The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database gnomAD v2.1 is 0.02% (22/128,894 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is consistent with recessive disease. This variant is a commonly reported pathogenic variant and has been detected in multiple individuals with oculocutaneous albinism in the homozygous state and compound heterozygous with a second pathogenic variant in the gene (PMID: 8434585, 28451379). Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (6/6 algorithms). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.5.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM3_VeryStrong, PM2_Supporting, PP3.
