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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 15 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 28 uncertain in NM_000166.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrX-71223751-G-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1709368.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 135 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 4 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: NaN (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked dominant 1, X-linked progressive cerebellar ataxia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.946
• PP5: Variant X-71223751-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71223751-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 217169.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
