Genes affected
TNXB (HGNC:11976): (tenascin XB) This gene encodes a member of the tenascin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. The tenascins have anti-adhesive effects, as opposed to fibronectin which is adhesive. This protein is thought to function in matrix maturation during wound healing, and its deficiency has been associated with the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. It is one of four genes in this cluster which have been duplicated. The duplicated copy of this gene is incomplete and is a pseudogene which is transcribed but does not encode a protein. The structure of this gene is unusual in that it overlaps the CREBL1 and CYP21A2 genes at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg1666X variant in TNXB has not been previously reported in the literature but has been identified in 1/13218 South Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) (http://exac.broadinstitute.org). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1666, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Complete loss of TNXB function has been described in a few families with Ehlers-Danlos-like syndrome (Schalkwijk 2001, Merke 2013, Penisson-Besnier 2013) and a TNXB mouse knockout model indicates that complete loss of TNXB function results in abnormal collagen deposition (Mao 2002). In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role of loss-of-function TNXB variants in Ehlers-Danlos-like syndrome, the clinical significance of the p.Arg1666X variant is uncertain. -
