• chr16-81377486-C-A
• rs79901179
• NM_022041.4:c.1684C>A

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_022041.4(GAN):​c.1684C>A​(p.Pro562Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P562A) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

GAN Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• giant axonal neuropathy 1

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), G2P, ClinGen

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 11 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: -2.0288 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to giant axonal neuropathy 1.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.894
