Genes affected

HSPB1 (HGNC:5246): (heat shock protein family B (small) member 1) This gene encodes a member of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family of proteins. In response to environmental stress, the encoded protein translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and functions as a molecular chaperone that promotes the correct folding of other proteins. This protein plays an important role in the differentiation of a wide variety of cell types. Expression of this gene is correlated with poor clinical outcome in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein may promote cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, while protecting cancer cells from apoptosis. Mutations in this gene have been identified in human patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and distal hereditary motor neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

HSPB1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-76304077-GC-CT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-76304077-GC-CT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 410713.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln175*) in the HSPB1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 31 amino acid(s) of the HSPB1 protein. Information on the frequency of this variant in the gnomAD database is not available, as this variant may be reported differently in the database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 22734906; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 410713). This variant is located in a region of the HSPB1 protein where a significant number of HSPB1 nonsense and frameshift mutations have been reported in association with autosomal dominant HSPB1-related neuropathies (PMID: 22734906, 28144995, 33686258). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
