Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):​c.136G>A​(p.Asp46Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D46E) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

GJB2 (HGNC:4284): (gap junction protein beta 2) This gene encodes a member of the gap junction protein family. The gap junctions were first characterized by electron microscopy as regionally specialized structures on plasma membranes of contacting adherent cells. These structures were shown to consist of cell-to-cell channels that facilitate the transfer of ions and small molecules between cells. The gap junction proteins, also known as connexins, purified from fractions of enriched gap junctions from different tissues differ. 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 are responsible for as much as 50% of pre-lingual, recessive deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Gap junction beta-2 protein (size 225) in uniprot entity CXB2_HUMAN there are 70 pathogenic changes around while only 16 benign (81%) in NM_004004.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.991
• PP5: Variant 13-20189446-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20189446-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 424851.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 46 of the GJB2 protein (p.Asp46Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 21484990). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 424851). 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 expected to disrupt GJB2 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
