Genes affected

LITAF (HGNC:16841): (lipopolysaccharide induced TNF factor) Lipopolysaccharide is a potent stimulator of monocytes and macrophages, causing secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and other inflammatory mediators. This gene encodes lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor, which is a DNA-binding protein and can mediate the TNF-alpha expression by direct binding to the promoter region of the TNF-alpha gene. The transcription of this gene is induced by tumor suppressor p53 and has been implicated in the p53-induced apoptotic pathway. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1C (CMT1C) and may be involved in the carcinogenesis of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 31, 2024	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 112 of the LITAF protein (p.Gly112Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with LITAF-related conditions (PMID: 12525712, 15122712, 15776429). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6057). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LITAF function (PMID: 23576546, 25058650). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Nov 28, 2023	The LITAF c.334G>A; p.Gly112Ser variant (rs104894519) is reported in the literature in several large families affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1C (Bennett 2004, Klein 2014, Latour 2006, Park 2022, Potulska-Chromik 2012, Saifi 2005, Street 2003). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 6057), but is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.820), and functional analyses of the variant protein show disrupted protein localization (Lacerda 2014, Zhu 2013). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Bennett CL et al. SIMPLE mutation in demyelinating neuropathy and distribution in sciatic nerve.

The c.334G>A (p.G112S) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the LITAF gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 334, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 112 to be replaced by a serine (S). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration has been detected in numerous individuals or families with inherited peripheral neuropathy phenotypes, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Street, 2003; Bennett, 2004; Saifi, 2005; Latour, 2006; Potulska-Chromik, 2012; Klein, 2014; Jerath, 2017; Khosa, 2020; Vogt, 2020; Volodarsky, 2021). Another alteration at the same codon, c.335G>C (p.G112A), has been detected in an individual with Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1C (Guimarães-Costa, 2017). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional studies demonstrated that the p.G112S alteration reduced secreted LITAF in exosomes (Zhu, 2013) and mislocalized from the late endosome/lysosome to the mitochondria (Lacerda, 2014). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
