Glaucoma VCEP
The c.761C>T variant in MYOC is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Proline by Leucine at amino acid 254 (p.Pro254Leu). This variant was not found in any genetic ancestry group of gnomAD (v4.1.0), meeting the ≤ 0.0001 threshold set for PM2_Supporting in a genetic ancestry group of at least 10,000 alleles. The REVEL score = 0.925, which was within the 0.773-0.931 range for PP3_Moderate, predicting a damaging effect on MYOC function. The Pro254Leu protein had increased insolubility and reduced secretion levels compared to wild type myocilin protein in this study (PMID: 35196929). The assay met the OddsPath threshold for PS3_Moderate (> 4.3), indicating that this variant did impact protein function. A confirmed de novo proband with juvenile open angle glaucoma was identified (PMID: 27080696), meeting PS2_Moderate. However, as this was the only proband identified, the ≥ 2 probands threshold required to meet PS4_Supporting was not met. In summary, this variant met the criteria to receive a score of 8 and to be classified as likely pathogenic (likely pathogenic classification range 6 to 9, adapted from PMID: 32720330) for juvenile open angle glaucoma based on the ACMG/AMP criteria met, as specified by the ClinGen Glaucoma VCEP (v2.0.0, 5 Dec 2024): PS2_Moderate, PS3_Moderate, PP3_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PM5_Supporting.
Met criteria codes
PS2_Moderate
1 confirmed de novo proband with JOAG has been identified.
PS3_Moderate
The Pro254Leu protein had increased insolubility and reduced secretion levels compared to wild type myocilin protein in this study (PMID: 35196929). The assay met the OddsPath threshold for PS3_Moderate (> 4.3), indicating that this variant did impact protein function.

PP3_Moderate
The REVEL score = 0.925, which was within the 0.773-0.931 range for PP3_Moderate, predicting a damaging effect on MYOC function.
PM2_Supporting
This variant was not found in any genetic ancestry group of gnomAD (v4.1.0), meeting the ≤ 0.0001 threshold set for PM2_Supporting in a genetic ancestry group of at least 10,000 alleles.
PM5_Supporting
Another missense variant (c.760C>A, p.Pro254Thr, Grantham score = 38, ClinVar ID: 2429764) at the same codon has been classified as likely pathogenic for juvenile open angle glaucoma by the ClinGen Glaucoma VCEP. The c.761C>T, p.Pro254Leu variant has a higher Grantham score (= 98) than the previously classified amino acid change, was not predicted to affect splicing as assessed with SpliceAI (≤ 0.2), and met PP3, meeting the conditions for PM5_Supporting to apply.
