Genes affected
TNXB (HGNC:11976): (tenascin XB) This gene encodes a member of the tenascin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. The tenascins have anti-adhesive effects, as opposed to fibronectin which is adhesive. This protein is thought to function in matrix maturation during wound healing, and its deficiency has been associated with the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. It is one of four genes in this cluster which have been duplicated. The duplicated copy of this gene is incomplete and is a pseudogene which is transcribed but does not encode a protein. The structure of this gene is unusual in that it overlaps the CREBL1 and CYP21A2 genes at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: TNXB c.6544+8T>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0033 in 246050 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. This frequency does not allow conclusions about variant significance. c.6544+8T>A has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with vesicoureteral reflux (e.g., Gbadegesin_2013), without strong evidence for causality (lack of co-segregation and co-occurrence data, etc.). This report therefore does not allow conclusions about association of the variant with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Classic-Like, 1. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have cited the variant, with one lab classifying the variant as benign, one lab classifying it as likely benign, and one lab classifying it as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
