Genes affected

GJB1 (HGNC:4283): (gap junction protein beta 1) This gene encodes a member of the gap junction protein family. The gap junction proteins are membrane-spanning proteins that assemble to form gap junction channels that facilitate the transfer of ions and small molecules between cells. According to sequence similarities at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, the gap junction proteins are divided into two categories, alpha and beta. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited peripheral neuropathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Gap junction beta-1 protein (size 282) in uniprot entity CXB1_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000166.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
• PP5: Variant X-71223915-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71223915-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 237122.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}. Variant chrX-71223915-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy X Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 70 of the GJB1 protein (p.Pro70Ala). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1X (PMID: 10873293, 21692908; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237122). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJB1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.208C>G (p.P70A) alteration is located in coding exon 1 of the GJB1 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 208, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 70 to be replaced by an alanine (A). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has been reported in multiple unrelated families with a diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Siskind, 2011; Ionasescu, 1998). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
