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 Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 212 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-71223716-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71223716-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 216040.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-71223716-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp3*) in the GJB1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 281 amino acid(s) of the GJB1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GJB1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216040). This variant disrupts a region of the GJB1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg220*, p.Tyr65*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7477983, 9364054, 22464564). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
