Genes affected
GAN (HGNC:4137): (gigaxonin) This gene encodes a member of the cytoskeletal BTB/kelch (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) repeat family. The encoded protein plays a role in neurofilament architecture and is involved in mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of some proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of giant axonal neuropathy (GAN). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Jun 02, 2023
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.479A>G (p.H160R) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the GAN gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 479, causing the histidine (H) at amino acid position 160 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Giant axonal neuropathy 1 Uncertain:1
Aug 13, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 160 of the GAN protein (p.His160Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs373474009, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GAN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 465397). 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 tolerated. In 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. -
