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.

Spastic paraplegia Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeFeb 12, 2021In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GJC2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs765598965, ExAC 0.03%). This sequence change replaces leucine with proline at codon 12 of the GJC2 protein (p.Leu12Pro). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and proline. -
