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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 4 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-71224045-A-AC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71224045-A-AC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 406225.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the final 169 amino acids, or about 60%, of the GJB1 protein. In addition, a different truncation downstream of this variant (p.Arg220*) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8162049, 9364054). This suggests that deletion of this region of the GJB1 protein is causative of disease. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a GJB1-related disease. This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 2 of the GJB1 mRNA (c.343dupC), causing a frameshift at codon 115. This creates a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the GJB1 mRNA (p.Leu115Profs*32). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 169 amino acids of the GJB1 protein. -
