Uncertain Significance for open-angle glaucoma. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):

PM2_Supporting BP7 BP4

Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)

The c.897T>C variant in MYOC is a synonymous variant (p.Phe299=). The highest minor allele frequency of this variant was in the Admixed American genetic ancestry group of gnomAD (v4.1.0) = 0.00001676 (1 allele out of 59,660), which met the ≤ 0.0001 threshold set for PM2_Supporting in a genetic ancestry group of at least 10,000 alleles. The SpliceAI score = 0.01, which met the ≤ 0.1 threshold for BP4, suggesting that the variant does not impact MYOC function. This synonymous variant meets BP4, so BP7 is met. There was no functional evidence predicting a damaging or benign impact of this variant on MYOC function. Only 1 proband with primary open angle glaucoma had been reported (ANZRAG [E. Souzeau pers. comm.]), not meeting the ≥ 2 probands threshold required to meet PS4_Supporting. In summary, this variant met the criteria to receive a score of -1 and to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance (uncertain significance classification range -1 to 5, adapted from PMID: 32720330) for primary open angle glaucoma based on the ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Glaucoma VCEP (v2.0.0, 5 Dec 2024): PM2_Supporting, BP4, BP7

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
