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 Pathogenic. Variant got 10 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, 0.995
• PP5: Variant X-71224243-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71224243-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 21085.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-71224243-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The C179Y variant in the GJB1 gene has been reported previously in association with Charcot-Marie-Tooth type X1 disease (CMTX1) (Casasnovas et al., 2006). The C179Y variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The C179Y variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size, and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Different missense variants in the same codon (C179G/R) as well as multiple missense variants in nearby residues have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with GJB1-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. This variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -
