Genes affected

GJB5 (HGNC:4287): (gap junction protein beta 5) This gene encodes a member of the beta-type (group I) connexin family. The encoded protein is a gap junction protein involved in intercellular communication related to epidermal differentiation and environmental sensing. This gene has been linked to non-small cell lung cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

The c.523T>G (p.C175G) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the GJB5 gene. This alteration results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 523, causing the cysteine (C) at amino acid position 175 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
