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 7 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
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000166.6.
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP

This variant, c.572_580dup, results in the insertion of 3 amino acid(s) of the GJB1 protein (p.Thr191_Phe193dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type X (CMTX) (PMID: 17052905). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21087). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
