Invitae RCV000552806 SCV000642356 pathogenic Autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy 1; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2S 2024-01-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg971Glufs*4) in the IGHMBP2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 23 amino acid(s) of the IGHMBP2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs572973851, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with peripheral neuropathy (PMID: 15269181, 25439726, 25568292, 26392352; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162195). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000624736 SCV000741688 pathogenic Inborn genetic diseases 2021-05-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.2911_2912delAG (p.R971Efs*4) alteration, located in exon 15 (coding exon 15) of the IGHMBP2 gene, consists of a deletion of 2 nucleotides from position 2911 to 2912, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 4 amino acids. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the IGHMBP2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 23 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature. Based on data from gnomAD, this allele has an overall frequency of 0.012% (33/279672) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.024% (31/127458) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been reported in conjunction with other pathogenic mutations in IGHMBP2 in multiple unrelated patients with IGHMBP2-related neuropathy (Cottenie, 2014; Bacquet, 2018; Cortese, 2020; Schottmann, 2015). This alteration has also been detected in the homozygous state in a patient reported to have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; however, clinical information was limited (Antoniadi, 2015). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 248290 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2911_2912delAG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Charcot-Marie Tooth disease type 2 (examples: Bacquet_2018, Cottenie_2014). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30373780, 31827005). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variants as pathogenic (n=4) and VUS (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
