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-71223886-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71223886-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 543917.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. A different missense substitution at this codon (p.Cys60Phe) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8162049, 8816997, 9452099, 10093067). This suggests that the cysteine residue is critical for GJB1 protein function and that other missense substitutions at this position may also be pathogenic. 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"). This variant has been reported to segregate with X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in a single family (PMID: 25043634). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 60 of the GJB1 protein (p.Cys60Tyr). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tyrosine. -
