aka c.1110G>C (p.Glu370Asp or E370D)

The variant allele is mentioned in a 2018 publication as a non-synonymous mutation in the PMEL gene, potentially acting in a dominant manner causing pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) in the iris, which 15-20% of the time develops into pigmentary glaucoma (PG), a major cause of blindness in young adults.[PMID 30561643OA-icon.png]
