Genes affected
HSPB8 (HGNC:30171): (heat shock protein family B (small) member 8) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. The expression of this gene in induced by estrogen in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, and this protein also functions as a chaperone in association with Bag3, a stimulator of macroautophagy. Thus, this gene appears to be involved in regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis, and mutations in this gene have been associated with different neuromuscular diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 19, 2023The c.512T>C (p.V171A) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the HSPB8 gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 512, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 171 to be replaced by an alanine (A). The alteration is rare in population databases: _x000D_ _x000D_ Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the c.512T>C alteration was observed in <0.001% (1/251,494) of total alleles studied. The altered amino acid is not conserved throughout evolution:_x000D_ _x000D_ The p.V171 amino acid is not conserved in available vertebrate species. The alteration is predicted tolerated by in silico modeling:_x000D_ _x000D_ The p.V171A alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2L Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJun 29, 2023In 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. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240907). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HSPB8-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 171 of the HSPB8 protein (p.Val171Ala). -
