Genes affected

MPZ (HGNC:7225): (myelin protein zero) This gene is specifically expressed in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system and encodes a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is a major structural protein of the peripheral myelin sheath. The encoded protein contains a large hydrophobic extracellular domain and a smaller basic intracellular domain, which are essential for the formation and stabilization of the multilamellar structure of the compact myelin. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1B) and other polyneuropathies, such as Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS) and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy (CHN). A recent study showed that two isoforms are produced from the same mRNA by use of alternative in-frame translation termination codons via a stop codon readthrough mechanism.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Published functional studies demonstrate that the variant alters normal MPZ function (PMID: 29687021); In silico analysis suggests that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Missense variants in this gene are a common cause of disease and they are underrepresented in the general population; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26310628, 20461396, 12805115, 30677751, 12845552, 29687021) -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant associates with disease in multiple families. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. This variant results in abnormal protein function by causing protein to be retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) rather than being transported to the cell membrane or myelin sheath (PMID 29687021). The variant is located in a region that is considered important for protein function and/or structure. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The MPZ c.434A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Tyr145Ser. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Leal et al 2003. PubMed ID: 12845552; Starr et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12805115; Taniguchi T et al 2020. PubMed ID: 33179255). An in vitro experimental study suggests this variant impacts protein localization leading to increased endoplasmic reticulum retention (Bai et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29687021). This variant is reported in 0.014% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and is reported in ClinVar as pathogenic by several outside laboratories (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-161276512-T-G; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/14191/). Given the evidence, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 145 of the MPZ protein (p.Tyr145Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs121913603, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary peripheral neuropathy and hereditary sensory motor neuropathy with deafness (PMID: 12805115, 12845552). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MPZ variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 11,906 individuals referred to our laboratory for MPZ testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14191). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MPZ protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
