Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Moderate

The NM_014365.3(HSPB8):​c.421A>C​(p.Lys141Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K141T) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 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_014365.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-119187079-A-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 637689.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.932

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. Variants that disrupt the p.Lys141 amino acid residue in HSPB8 have been observed in affected individuals (PMID: 15122253, 20538880). This suggests that it is a clinically significant residue, and that other variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with HSPB8-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine with glutamine at codon 141 of the HSPB8 protein (p.Lys141Gln). The lysine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between lysine and glutamine. -
