Genes affected
IGHMBP2 (HGNC:5542): (immunoglobulin mu DNA binding protein 2) This gene encodes a helicase superfamily member that binds a specific DNA sequence from the immunoglobulin mu chain switch region. Mutations in this gene lead to spinal muscle atrophy with respiratory distress type 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Observed in two unrelated patients with IGHMBP2-related disorders in published literature (PMID: 26257172, 28251916); Reported previously as a variant of uncertain significance in a patient with suspected Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; however, it was unclear if a second variant was identified (PMID: 32376792); Published functional studies suggested that this variant is partially functional (PMID: 36077311); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28251916, 26257172, 25439726, 24388491, 22965130, 32376792, 36077311) -

The p.A256G variant (also known as c.767C>G), located in coding exon 6 of the IGHMBP2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 767. The alanine at codon 256 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was reported in a patient with congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy who also had two additional alterations in IGHMBP2 although parental samples were unavailable to determine phase (Gonzaga-Jauregui C et al. Cell Rep, 2015 Aug;12:1169-83). This alteration was also reported in the heterozygous state in a young boy with features of distal hereditary motor neuronopathy (Bansagi B et al. Neurology, 2017 Mar;88:1226-1234), and in an individual with a diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 with limited clinical detail (Antoniadi T et al. BMC Med Genet, 2015 Sep;16:84). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
