Genes affected
DNAJB2 (HGNC:5228): (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B2) This gene is almost exclusively expressed in the brain, mainly in the neuronal layers. It encodes a protein that shows sequence similarity to bacterial DnaJ protein and the yeast homologs. In bacteria, this protein is implicated in protein folding and protein complex dissociation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal recessive 5 Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 18, 2023This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 4 of the DNAJB2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in DNAJB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22522442, 25274842). This variant is present in population databases (rs369661561, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 32376792). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234675). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 10, 2020The c.230-2A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 4 in the DNAJB2 gene. The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. The exact functional effect of the missing amino acids is unknown. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
