Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):c.35G>A(p.Gly12Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000022 in 1,591,136 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G12C) 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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_004004.6

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr13-20189548-C-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 44740.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 111 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 10 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.72044 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.4379 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 1A, ichthyosis, hystrix-like, with hearing loss, keratoderma hereditarium mutilans, hearing loss, autosomal recessive, Bart-Pumphrey syndrome, palmoplantar keratoderma-deafness syndrome, autosomal dominant keratitis-ichthyosis-hearing loss syndrome, autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 3A, autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss, KID syndrome.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.984

PP5

Variant 13-20189547-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20189547-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 551229.
