Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 22 of the GJB4 protein (p.Arg22His). This variant is present in population databases (rs80358212, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with erythrokeratodermia variabilis (PMID: 12648223). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5008). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJB4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
