Genes affected
HSPB1 (HGNC:5246): (heat shock protein family B (small) member 1) This gene encodes a member of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family of proteins. In response to environmental stress, the encoded protein translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and functions as a molecular chaperone that promotes the correct folding of other proteins. This protein plays an important role in the differentiation of a wide variety of cell types. Expression of this gene is correlated with poor clinical outcome in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein may promote cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, while protecting cancer cells from apoptosis. Mutations in this gene have been identified in human patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and distal hereditary motor neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAthena DiagnosticsSep 26, 2022This variant creates a premature stop codon resulting in a truncated HSPB1. Similar truncating variants in this gene have been reported in cases of axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 32334137, 26675522). The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with motor neuropathies and appears to segregate with axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in at least one family. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 25, 2018A variant that is likely pathogenic has been identified in the HSPB1 gene. The Q175X nonsense variant has been previously reported to segregate with CMT2 in six affected family members (Rossor et al., 2012). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation as the last 31 amino acid residues are lost. The Q175X variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Therefore, the Q175X variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2F Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 31, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.P182 amino acid residue in HSPB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15122254, 23728742, 28077174). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217231). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 22734906, 28144995; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln175*) in the HSPB1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 31 amino acid(s) of the HSPB1 protein. -
