The mode of inheritance of this gene has been updated to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal following NHS Genomic Medicine Service approval.

Comment on mode of inheritance: Should be updated from 'both mono- and biallelic' to 'biallelic' only at the next GMS panel update.

Biallelic variants are associated with oculocutaneous albinism. Many cases have been reported in literature (ClinGen Definitive gene-disease classification) and therefore this is appropriate for inclusion on this panel.

SNPs in TYR have been found to influence hair, eye and skin pigmentation and some studies have demonstrated an increased susceptibility to cutaneous melanoma due to certain sequence variants. There is some evidence suggesting ocular albinism may result from digenic inheritance of a TYR SNP (R402Q) alongside a heterozygous variant in the MITF gene. However, neither of these scenarios are within the remit of this panel and therefore should not be included.
