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 8 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, 0.955

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. This variant disrupts the p.Val181 amino acid residue in GJB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9361298, 17100997, 19259128, 21692908, 25947624). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has been reported to affect GJB1 protein function (PMID: 14627639). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 14627639). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 637559). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces valine with alanine at codon 181 of the GJB1 protein (p.Val181Ala). The valine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and alanine. -
