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]

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with hearing loss. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 17660464) In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with the variant resulting in gap junctions that are incapable of intercellular coupling (Matos et al., 2007); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19101659, 25266519, 12865758, 25388846, 16222667, 24774219, 23668481, 9529365, 31160754, 30344259, 34440441, 34652575, 36100214, 26553399, 17660464, 31992338, 32067424) -

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 84 of the GJB2 protein (p.Val84Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs104894409, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 30344259, 31160754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17036). 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 GJB2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Val84 amino acid residue in GJB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11556849, 12172394, 16380907, 19235794). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The GJB2 c.250G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val84Met. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss (Plevova. 2018. PubMed ID: 30344259; Pandya. 2020. PubMed ID: 32067424; Table S2, Shen. 2019. PubMed ID: 31160754; Zhang. 2011. PubMed ID: 21366436; Cheng. 2005. PubMed ID: 16222667; Martínez-Saucedo. 2015. PubMed ID: 26553399; Primignani. 2009. PubMed ID: 19371219; Loeza-Becerra. 2014. PubMed ID: 24774219). This variant is reported in 0.0099% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-20763471-C-T). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
