Genes affected

IGHMBP2 (HGNC:5542): (immunoglobulin mu DNA binding protein 2) This gene encodes a helicase superfamily member that binds a specific DNA sequence from the immunoglobulin mu chain switch region. Mutations in this gene lead to spinal muscle atrophy with respiratory distress type 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.866
• PP5: Variant 11-68934542-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-68934542-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 245629.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy 1;C4015349:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2S Pathogenic:1

May 04, 2024

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 539 of the IGHMBP2 protein (p.Ser539Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive distal hereditary motor neuropathy and/or spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) (PMID: 30598237; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245629). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on IGHMBP2 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Service de Pédiatrie - Neurologie et infectiologie - Toulouse, CHU de Toulouse - Hôpital des Enfants

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

6 typical cases of SMARD1 were observed with an homozygous mutation at this location. Although it is a missense mutation on a poorly conserved portion of DNA across species, it involves the main functional domain of the protein IGHMBP 2 the DNA helicase domain, on a specific region where ATP binding sites seems to be concentrated (region 2A). -
