Genes affected

MPZ (HGNC:7225): (myelin protein zero) This gene is specifically expressed in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system and encodes a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is a major structural protein of the peripheral myelin sheath. The encoded protein contains a large hydrophobic extracellular domain and a smaller basic intracellular domain, which are essential for the formation and stabilization of the multilamellar structure of the compact myelin. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1B) and other polyneuropathies, such as Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS) and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy (CHN). A recent study showed that two isoforms are produced from the same mRNA by use of alternative in-frame translation termination codons via a stop codon readthrough mechanism.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp104Thrfs*14) in the MPZ gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MPZ are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14711881). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with MPZ-related conditions (PMID: 8816708). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41019). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
