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]

• 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, 0.992
• PP5: Variant X-71223784-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71223784-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 155726.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The S26L missense variant in the GJB1 gene has been reported previously in association with CMTX1 (Oh et al., 1997; Nelis et al., 1997; Sun et al., 2016). Functional analysis shows that S26L alters the structure and permeability of the membrane (Oh et al., 1997). The S26L variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The S26L variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Additionally, in-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support a deleterious effect. Furthermore, missense variants in nearby residues have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in individuals with CMTX1 (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, S26L is interpreted to be a pathogenic variant. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not found in the total gnomAD dataset, and the data is high quality (0/204891 chr). Found in at least one symptomatic patient. Predicted to have a damaging effect on the protein. Damaging to protein function(s) relevant to disease mechanism. Moderate co-segregation with disease in affected and unaffected individuals, but from a single family. One de novo case without parental identity confirmed. -

The GJB1 c.77C>T; p.Ser26Leu variant (rs587777876) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (selected references: Yoshimura 1996, Hsu 2019, and Niu 2020). In vitro functional analyses demonstrate that the p.Ser26Leu alters the channels junctional permeability by reducing the pore size (Tsai 2016). This variant is also absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 26 of the GJB1 protein (p.Ser26Leu). 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: 8990008, 9354338, 11271367, 21291455, 25429913, 25802885, 27862672). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 155726). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB1 function (PMID: 9354338, 16442804, 27844031). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
