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.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 19 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.8719 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -1.3976 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 2, hereditary spastic paraplegia 44, lymphatic malformation 3, lymphatic malformation.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.899

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This sequence change replaces asparagine with serine at codon 282 of the GJC2 protein (p.Asn282Ser). The asparagine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and serine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GJC2-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). -
