Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3

The NM_021954.4(GJA3):c.563A>G(p.Asn188Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,613,802 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. N188Y) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_021954.4

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr13-20142726-T-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 50941.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 27 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.7112 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.026578 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to early-onset nuclear cataract, pulverulent cataract, early-onset posterior polar cataract, cataract 14 multiple types.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.772
