Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -16 ACMG points: 0P and 16B. BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBS2
The NM_000304.4(PMP22):c.178+7C>A variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0014 in 1,596,788 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 6 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★).

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Jul 17, 2023 | Variant summary: PMP22 c.178+7C>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0011 in 150980 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0024 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v3.1), including 1 homozygote, suggesting that the variant is likely a benign polymorphism. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.178+7C>A in individuals affected with PMP22-Related Disorders and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting assessments. The majority classified the variant as benign (n=2)/likely benign (n=3), and others classified it as either VUS (n=1) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. - |
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Mar 15, 2018 | This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. - |

Tip-toe gait Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, flagged submission | clinical testing | Practice for Gait Abnormalities, David Pomarino, Competency Network Toe Walking c/o Practice Pomarino | May 05, 2019 | Hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN), also known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT), is the most commonly inherited peripheral polyneuropathy. It constitutes a group of inherited, progressive, motor and sensory peripheral nerve disorders with properties of demyelination, axonal degeneration, or both. It is classified by clinical characteristics, modes of inheritance, electrophysiologic features, metabolic defects, and specific gene markers. Our patients all walk on tiptoe, so they show similar symptoms. When we genetically test them with our toe walking panel, we find that around 90 per cent of them have a genetic variant that explains their toe walking. These can be assigned, for example, to the area of myopathies (such as variants of the COL6A3 gene), the area of hereditary neuropathies (such as variants of the KMT2C gene) or the area of metabolic diseases (such as variants of the PYGM gene). In a smaller group of patients with almost identical symptoms, no abnormality is found in the genes of our panel, but spastic paraplegia can be detected. In another small group of our toe walkers, no abnormalities can be detected in the genes analysed in our toe walking panel, nor do they suffer from spastic paraplegia, as is also the case with healthy children. In contrast to these, however, they show a tiptoe gait. These patients suffer from infantile cerebral palsy, in which toe walking can also be observed. - |

Hereditary liability to pressure palsies Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Apr 28, 2017 | This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. - |
