Genes affected
GJC2 (HGNC:17494): (gap junction protein gamma 2) This gene encodes a gap junction protein. Gap junction proteins are members of a large family of homologous connexins and comprise 4 transmembrane, 2 extracellular, and 3 cytoplasmic domains. This gene plays a key role in central myelination and is involved in peripheral myelination in humans. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease-1.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 02, 2018A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the GJC2 gene. The c.-19-3 C>A variant hasnot been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Several in silico splice prediction models predict that c.-19-3 C>A destroys a natural splice acceptor site in intron 1 which may lead to abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change in this individual is unknown. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
