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 1 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Gap junction beta-1 protein (size 282) in uniprot entity CXB1_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000166.6
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.858
• PP5: Variant X-71224083-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-71224083-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 245904.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}. Variant chrX-71224083-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BS2: High Hemizygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 XL gene

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 126 of the GJB1 protein (p.His126Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 11030070, 28768847, 32376792). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245904). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GJB1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
