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]

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked dominant 1 Pathogenic:3

May 20, 2023

Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The missense c.224G>A (p.Arg75Gln) variant in the GJB1 gene has been observed in individuals with X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Numakura, Chikahiko et al., 2002). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB1 function (Abrams, Charles K et al., 2013). The variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. The amino acid Arginine at position 75 is changed to a Glutamine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Damaging, SIFT – Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variantThe amino acid change p.Arg75Gln in GJB1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 75 of the GJB1 protein (p.Arg75Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX) (PMID: 8829637, 9272161, 10093067, 12402337). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217167). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJB1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB1 function (PMID: 12460545, 19369543, 23209285). This variant disrupts the p.Arg75 amino acid residue in GJB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12460545, 19369543, 23209285). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
