Genes affected

HSPB8 (HGNC:30171): (heat shock protein family B (small) member 8) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. The expression of this gene in induced by estrogen in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, and this protein also functions as a chaperone in association with Bag3, a stimulator of macroautophagy. Thus, this gene appears to be involved in regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis, and mutations in this gene have been associated with different neuromuscular diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with glutamic acid at codon 3 of the HSPB8 protein (p.Asp3Glu). The aspartic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and glutamic acid. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a HSPB8-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
