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]

Reported previously in association with CMTX1 (PMID: 8162049, 25025039) and is associated with a mild to moderate clinical presentation in both males and females (PMID: 9364054); Functional studies in murine cells demonstrate that at least some of the V63I variant protein is able to localize to the cell surface, shows no significant effect on the ability of the mutant protein to form gap junctions, and to date have failed to elucidate the pathogenic mechanism of the V63I mutant protein (PMID: 9364054, 15006706); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Missense variants in this gene are a common cause of disease and they are underrepresented in the general population; In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 10093067, 30569560, 15006706, 20301548, 9099841, 12477701, 9633821, 12542510, 11393532, 17100997, 25025039, 9361298, 32376792, 37284795, 8162049, 9364054) -

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 63 of the GJB1 protein (p.Val63Ile). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 8162049, 10093067, 12542510). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21081). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GJB1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB1 function (PMID: 9364054, 11393532, 15006706). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
