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]

The c.394_395delTG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the GJB1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides between nucleotide positions 394 and 395, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. Since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp132Valfs*14) in the GJB1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 152 amino acid(s) of the GJB1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 9888385, 10093067). This variant is also known as del GT in codon 131–132. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 521808). This variant disrupts a region of the GJB1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ser258Profs*2) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
