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

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Gap junction beta-1 protein (size 282) in uniprot entity CXB1_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000166.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.889

This missense change is located in a region of the GJB1 protein where a significant number of previously reported GJB1 missense mutations are found (PMID: 9361298, 20128140, 17100997, 16922730,15006706,9187667). These observations suggest that a previously unreported missense substitution within this region may affect protein function, but experiments have not been done to test this possibility. This sequence change replaces valine with leucine at codon 181 of the GJB1 protein (p.Val181Leu). The valine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and leucine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type X (PMID: 18380031). A different missense substitution at this codon (p.Val181Ala) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 14627639). In addition, a different missense substitution at this codon (p.Val181Met) has been reported in a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type X (PMID: 9361298). This suggests that the valine residue is critical for GJB1 protein function and that other missense substitutions at this position may also be pathogenic. In summary, this variant is a rare missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. While it is absent from the population and reported in affected individuals, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C25"). -
