Description

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with brown oculocutaneous albinism and oculocutaneous, type II albinism (MIM#203200). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. A single variant has been reported in two families with dominant oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 32741191). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene causing oculocutaneous albinism are known to have variable expressivity (PMID: 24518832). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from cysteine to tyrosine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a condition (8 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated transmembrane helix within the permease P domain (NCBI). (I) 0704 - Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has limited previous evidence for pathogenicity. An alternative change p.(Cys777Arg) has been reported in a heterozygous patient with albinism (PMID: 20861488). (SP) 0802 - This variant has moderate previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported twice as likely pathogenic (ClinVar), and has been observed in a heterozygous patient with albinism (PMID: 28976636). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (LABID). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign
