Genes affected

GJC2 (HGNC:17494): (gap junction protein gamma 2) This gene encodes a gap junction protein. Gap junction proteins are members of a large family of homologous connexins and comprise 4 transmembrane, 2 extracellular, and 3 cytoplasmic domains. This gene plays a key role in central myelination and is involved in peripheral myelination in humans. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease-1.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant (c.62C>T, p.Thr21Ile) has not been observed in population databases (gnomAD) and has not been reported in the literature. Variant prediction programs suggest a deleterious effect, but no functional studies have been reported. The change was found in the homozygous state in affected twins. -
