Genes affected
GJC2 (HGNC:17494): (gap junction protein gamma 2) This gene encodes a gap junction protein. Gap junction proteins are members of a large family of homologous connexins and comprise 4 transmembrane, 2 extracellular, and 3 cytoplasmic domains. This gene plays a key role in central myelination and is involved in peripheral myelination in humans. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease-1.

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 2 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMolecular Diagnostics Lab, Nemours Children's Health, DelawareApr 15, 2021This nonsense variant (c.17G>A, p.Trp6*) has been observed at extremely low frequency in population databases (gnomAD). The change has not been reported in the literature and no functional studies have been published. It was found in trans with both c.282C>G (p.Tyr94*, pathogenic) and c.947C>T (p.Pro316Leu, likely benign) in an affected individual. -
