Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points: 6P and 1B. PS1_Moderate PM1 PM5 BP4

The NM_000166.6(GJB1):c.644G>A(p.Arg215Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000073 in 1,096,602 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are 6 hemizygotes in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Likely pathogenicin UniProt. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R215P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000166.6 (GJB1) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in UniProt
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 12 uncertain in NM_000166.6
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrX-71224351-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 219704.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3405183).

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 215 of the GJB1 protein (p.Arg215Gln). 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB1 function (PMID: 10234007). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Arg215 amino acid residue in GJB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8162049, 8816997, 9187667, 22464564). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
