Genetic Variant GJB4:p.Arg22Cys (chr1-34761318-C-T) – ACMG Classification: Uncertain_significance (4 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PP3_Strong

The NM_153212.3(GJB4):c.64C>T(p.Arg22Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000273 in 1,613,926 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R22H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

GJB4 (HGNC:4286): (gap junction protein beta 4) This gene encodes a transmembrane connexin protein that is a component of gap junctions. Mutations in this gene have been associated with erythrokeratodermia variabilis, progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma and hearing impairment. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
