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 9 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, 0.977
• PP5: Variant X-71224266-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71224266-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 543925.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=2}. Variant chrX-71224266-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging. The variant is located in a region that is considered important for protein function and/or structure. -

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 187 of the GJB1 protein (p.Lys187Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 9361298). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543925). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJB1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
