Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV002005986 SCV002274009 pathogenic Cataract 1 multiple types 2023-05-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Glu48 amino acid residue in GJA8. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10480374, 19126675). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJA8 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1484682). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant congenital cataracts (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 48 of the GJA8 protein (p.Glu48Gly).
