Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):​c.71G>C​(p.Trp24Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,884 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/23 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W24C) 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

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_004004.6
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr13-20189510-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3601150.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 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 palmoplantar keratoderma-deafness syndrome, autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss, ichthyosis, hystrix-like, with hearing loss, KID syndrome, autosomal dominant keratitis-ichthyosis-hearing loss syndrome, keratoderma hereditarium mutilans, hearing loss, autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 3A, Bart-Pumphrey syndrome, autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 1A.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
