Gene summary

This gene encodes a pseudophosphatase and member of the myotubularin-related protein family. This gene maps within the CMT4B2 candidate region of chromosome 11p15 and mutations in this gene have been associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, type 4B2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The linkage region of SBF2 on chromosome 11p15 was first reported in 1999 in association with autosomal recessive CMT with focally-folded myelin (PMID: 10644431). In 2003, an in-frame deletion in SBF2 was described (PMID: 12554688), followed by several stop (e.g. 12687498, 15304601), frame-shift (PMID: 25873783, 30028002), and splice variants (PMID: 15477569) all representing biallelic loss-of-function changes. The mutation spectrum was later enlarged by missense variants as well (PMID: 30028002), likewise leading to a childhood-onset CMT phenotype with slow nerve conduction velocities (~ 15m/s) and tomaculous myelin outfoldings. The loss-of function pathomechanism is supported by a SBF2 knockout mouse model (PMID: 17855448, 18349142, 23297362) well-reproducing phenotypic elements such as muscle weakness, poor motor performance, reduced nerve conduction velocities and delayed F-waves, as well as myelin folding abnormalities. SBF2 is expressed in the Schwann cell cytoplasm (PMID: 23297362) and interacts with MTMR2 (15998640, 23297362), a protein that is likewise associated with AR demyelinating CMT (CMT4B1). In summary, SBF2 is definitively associated with autosomal recessive demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 4B2AR

Manifestation: Audiologic/Otolaryngologic; Neurologic; Ophthalmologic

Intervention: Ophthalmologic; Pharmacogenomic

Rationale: Open-angle glaucoma is typically asymptomatic until late stages, when irreversible nerve damage has already taken place; As the condition may include early-onset hearing loss, intervention related to speech and language development may be beneficial; Agents that may contribute to glaucoma should be avoided

Comments: Several families with CMT4B2 with early-onset glaucoma have been reported; One report has also described homozygous variants associated with Congenital thrombocytopenia, autosomal recessive

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_030962.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
