Description
In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant disrupts the p.Gly485 amino acid residue in OCA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with OCA2-related conditions (PMID: 18821858, 29345414), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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 OCA2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 315466). This missense change has been observed in individuals with oculocutaneous albinism (PMID: 20806075). This variant is present in population databases (rs747214535, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 485 of the OCA2 protein (p.Gly485Arg).
