Genes affected
GJC2 (HGNC:17494): (gap junction protein gamma 2) This gene encodes a gap junction protein. Gap junction proteins are members of a large family of homologous connexins and comprise 4 transmembrane, 2 extracellular, and 3 cytoplasmic domains. This gene plays a key role in central myelination and is involved in peripheral myelination in humans. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease-1.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesApr 01, 2022The GJC2 c.1193C>T; p.Thr398Ile variant (rs140942230), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene specific databases in association with vascular or lymphatic malformations. This variant is reported in the literature in several heterozygous individuals affected with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease, a form of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, although no second variant was found in these individuals and the same variant occurred in an unaffected parent (Henneke 2008). This variant is found in the general population with an allele frequency of 0.14% (305/214368 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The threonine at codon 398 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.577). Functional studies of this variant are conflicting, with one report suggesting aberrant channel activity (Diekmann 2010), and a second report indicating normal localization and activity of the variant protein (Kim 2013). While this variant is unlikely to be causative of autosomal dominant lymphatic malformations, due to limited and conflicting information, its clinical significance in recessive disease is uncertain at this time.
