Genes affected
HSPB1 (HGNC:5246): (heat shock protein family B (small) member 1) This gene encodes a member of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family of proteins. In response to environmental stress, the encoded protein translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and functions as a molecular chaperone that promotes the correct folding of other proteins. This protein plays an important role in the differentiation of a wide variety of cell types. Expression of this gene is correlated with poor clinical outcome in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein may promote cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, while protecting cancer cells from apoptosis. Mutations in this gene have been identified in human patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and distal hereditary motor neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesApr 18, 2022The HSBP1 c.116C>T; p.Pro39Leu variant (rs557327165) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals and families affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 and distal hereditary motor neuropathy (Capponi 2011, Echaniz-Laguna 2017, Kalmar 2017, Rossor 2017). Functional analyses of the variant protein show increased protein aggregation, increased resistance to dissociation, reduced chaperone-like activity (Muranova 2015) and mitochondrial dysfunction (Kalmer 2017). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 533814) and is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Capponi S et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAthena DiagnosticsSep 09, 2021The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with this gene. This variant appears to occur de novo in one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Expression of this variant in a motor neuron cell line resulted in impaired mitochondrial function and transport (PMID: 28592321). -

HSPB1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesFeb 29, 2024The HSPB1 c.116C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro39Leu. This variant was reported in individuals with autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 2 (Houlden et al 2008. PubMed ID: 18832141; Volodarsky et al 2020. PubMed ID: 32376792; Tanabe. 2018. PubMed ID: 29381233; Muranova et al 2015. PubMed ID: 25965061; and Kalmar et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28595321). This variant is reported in 0.00099% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2F Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 28, 2023This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 39 of the HSPB1 protein (p.Pro39Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 22176143, 27816334, 28144995). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 533814). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on HSPB1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HSPB1 function (PMID: 25965061, 28595321). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

HSPB1-related axonal neuropathies Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJun 16, 2021The HSPB1 c.116C>T (p.Pro39Leu) variant is a missense variant that has been reported in at least three studies, in which it was found in a heterozygous state in at least eight unrelated individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 or distal hereditary motor neuropathy (Capponi et al. 2011; Echaniz-Laguna et al. 2017; Tanabe et al. 2018). In several families, multiple affected individuals were heterozygous for the variant and in at least one individual, the variant was shown to be de novo. The p.Pro39Leu variant is reported at a frequency of 0.00001 in the European (non-Finnish) population from the Genome Aggregation Database (version 2.1.1), though this is based on one allele in a region of good sequence coverage, so the variant is presumed to be rare. Physicochemical studies of the p.Pro39Leu variant noted a decrease in phosphorylation-dependent dissociation of large oligomers and decreased chaperoning activity compared to wildtype (Muranova et al. 2015). Furthermore, the p.Pro39Leu variant was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in motor neurons and increased vulnerability to oxidative stress (Kalmar et al. 2017). Based on the available evidence, the p.Pro39Leu variant is classified as pathogenic for HSPB1-related axonal neuropathies. -
