Genes affected
TJP2 (HGNC:11828): (tight junction protein 2) This gene encodes a zonula occluden that is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homolog family. The encoded protein functions as a component of the tight junction barrier in epithelial and endothelial cells and is necessary for proper assembly of tight junctions. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with hypercholanemia, and genomic duplication of a 270 kb region including this gene causes autosomal dominant deafness-51. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Arg397Cys varia nt in TJP2 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, bu t has been identified in 0.04% (3/8600) of European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs19976 1505). Arg397 is not conserved in mammals and across evolutionary distant specie s, supporting that a change at this position may be tolerated. Additional comput ational prediction tools do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty; however based upon the conservation data, we would le an towards a more likely benign role. -
