Genes affected

GJA1 (HGNC:4274): (gap junction protein alpha 1) This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. The encoded protein is the major protein of gap junctions in the heart that are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. A related intronless pseudogene has been mapped to chromosome 5. Mutations in this gene have been associated with oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive craniometaphyseal dysplasia and heart malformations. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_000165.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the GJA1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 41 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.2784 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.3775 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to craniometaphyseal dysplasia, autosomal recessive, erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 3, oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal dominant palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia, hypoplastic left heart syndrome 1, craniometaphyseal dysplasia, syndactyly type 3, oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive, nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss, Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, erythrokeratodermia variabilis.
• PP5: Variant 6-121447153-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-121447153-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 537755.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJA1 protein function. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with oculodentodigital dysplasia (PMID: 19338053, Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine with asparagine at codon 102 of the GJA1 protein (p.Lys102Asn). The lysine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between lysine and asparagine.
