Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000166.6(GJB1):​c.532G>A​(p.Asp178Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D178Y) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 20 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 26 uncertain in NM_000166.6
• 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 135 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 4 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: NaN (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked dominant 1, X-linked progressive cerebellar ataxia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.972
• PP5: Variant X-71224239-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71224239-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 477600.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 178 of the GJB1 protein (p.Asp178Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477600). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GJB1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB1 function (PMID: 14663144). This variant disrupts the p.Asp178 amino acid residue in GJB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GJB1-related conditions (PMID: 20193560), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
