Genes affected

GJA1 (HGNC:4274): (gap junction protein alpha 1) This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. The encoded protein is the major protein of gap junctions in the heart that are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. A related intronless pseudogene has been mapped to chromosome 5. Mutations in this gene have been associated with oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive craniometaphyseal dysplasia and heart malformations. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 0 uncertain in NM_000165.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, GJA1
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 6-121446922-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-121446922-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 986183.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr6-121446922-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.75G>C (p.W25C) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the GJA1 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 75, causing the tryptophan (W) at amino acid position 25 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the GJA1 c.75G>C alteration was not observed, with coverage at this position. The p.W25C alteration has been reported in two individuals with oculodentodigital dysplasia. One patient was 34 years old and developed adult-onset progressive spastic paraplegia and sensory deficits in addition to congenital features of ODDD (Furuta, 2012). The other patient had features of ODDD and a normal neurological exam at age 7 years, but white matter changes were seen on brain MRI. Parental testing confirmed his alteration arose de novo (Dwarakanathan, 2015). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. The p.W25C alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
