Is CRYBA4 p.Ser93Pro (c.277T>C) pathogenic?

CRYBA4 p.Ser93Pro (c.277T>C) is classified Likely pathogenic in CRYBA4 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-08-11). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.964); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with cataract 23.

What condition is associated with CRYBA4 p.Ser93Pro (c.277T>C)?

CRYBA4 p.Ser93Pro (c.277T>C) is associated with cataract 23 (ClinVar).

How common is CRYBA4 p.Ser93Pro (c.277T>C) in the general population?

CRYBA4 p.Ser93Pro (c.277T>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Early onset non-syndromic cataract inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about CRYBA4 p.Ser93Pro (c.277T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.964) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
