Laboratório de Neurologia Aplicada e Experimental, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirao Preto – Universidade de Sao Paulo RCV002221180 SCV001976639 likely pathogenic Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 2021-07-20 criteria provided, single submitter research The c.279G>A (p.Trp93Ter) variant in the HSPB3 gene has not been described in the literature to our knowledge. This substitution creates a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense-mediated decay. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. This variant is not present in the population database (GnomAD and ABraOM), suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This variant is located in an essential and highly conserved functional protein domain (alpha-crystallin) (PMID: 32323160). Our lab found it in one family, in heterozygous, in a 20-years-old male with a mild CMT2 phenotype and in his father, who is also affected. So, this variant segregates with the family phenotype (CMT2) in an autosomal dominant inheritance. In summary, the p.Trp93Ter meets our criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic.
