Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_Strong
The NM_018972.4(GDAP1):c.719G>A(p.Cys240Tyr) 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C240S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
GDAP1 (HGNC:15968): (ganglioside induced differentiation associated protein 1) This gene encodes a member of the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein family, which may play a role in a signal transduction pathway during neuronal development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease and neuropathy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms and a noncoding variant have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
