Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_000165.5(GJA1):​c.413G>T​(p.Gly138Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G138R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Cytoplasmic (size 57) in uniprot entity CXA1_HUMAN there are 17 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000165.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP2: Missense variant in the GJA1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 41 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.2784 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.3775 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to craniometaphyseal dysplasia, autosomal recessive, Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, syndactyly type 3, oculodentodigital dysplasia, nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss, hypoplastic left heart syndrome 1, autosomal dominant palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia, oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive, craniometaphyseal dysplasia, erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 3, erythrokeratodermia variabilis.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.845

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 138 of the GJA1 protein (p.Gly138Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GJA1-related conditions. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GJA1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Gly138 amino acid residue in GJA1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18946008, 19338053, 25388818). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
