Genes affected
GLDN (HGNC:29514): (gliomedin) This gene encodes a protein that contains olfactomedin-like and collagen-like domains. The encoded protein, which exists in both transmembrane and secreted forms, promotes formation of the nodes of Ranvier in the peripheral nervous system. Mutations in this gene cause a form of lethal congenital contracture syndrome in human patients. Autoantibodies to the encoded protein have been identified in sera form patients with multifocal motor neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

The c.1305G>A (p.W435*) alteration, located in exon 10 (coding exon 10) of the GLDN gene, consists of a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1305. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan (W) to a stop codon at amino acid position 435. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the GLDN gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 21% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, the impacted region is critical for protein function, and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.002% (4/251382) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.004% (4/113700) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other GLDN variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with GLDN-related congenital contracture syndrome (Wambach, 2017). In an assay testing GLDN function, this variant showed a functionally abnormal result (Mis, 2020). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
