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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 24, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu47*) in the GJB2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 180 amino acid(s) of the GJB2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs104894398, gnomAD 0.04%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (PMID: 9336442, 15070423, 21465647, 22429511, 26553399). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17005). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesNov 08, 2023The GJB2 c.139G>T; p.Glu47Ter variant (rs104894398) is reported multiple times in the literature in individuals with nonsyndromic hearing loss who are homozygous for the variant or compound heterozygous with another pathogenic GJB2 variant (Ben Said 2012, Denoyelle 1997, Dodson 2011, Rabionet 2000, Roux 2004). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 17005) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.01% (35/282166 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Ben Said M et al.

Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.167delT, p.Leu56fsX26; c.169C>T, p.Gln57X; c.176_191delGCTGCAAGAACGTGTG, p.Gly59fsX18; c.235delC, p.Leu79fsX3). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. The variant of interest has been found in a large, broad control population, ExAC in 23/128870 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001785, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GJB2 variant (0.0003376). This variant is a common variant found in NSHL patients (homozygotes and compound heterozygotes) (Denoyelle_HMG_1997, Snoeckx_AJHG_2005, Dai_J Trans Med_2009), including one patient where it occurred as a trimutation, p.S19R/p.R32S/p.E47* (Martinez-Saucedo_IJPO_2015). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 21465647 and 17041943. Classification of NM_004004.5(GJB2):c.139G>T(E47*) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is not expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, literature evidence strongly supports pathogenicity.

Nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingINGEBI, INGEBI / CONICETAug 21, 2020Based on ACMG/AMP guidelines and Hearing Loss Expert Panel specific criteria: the filtering allele frequency of the c.139 G>T (p.Glu47*) variant in the GJB2 gene is 0.02% (13/35412) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; (calculated by using inverse allele frequency at ttps://www.cardiodb.org/allelefrequencyapp/), which meets the PM2_Supporting rule. The p.Glu47* variant is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in the only exon of GJB2 that leads to a truncated or absent protein in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant has been detected in patients with hearing loss in trans with at least 4 pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic variants (PM3_VeryStrong; PMID: 9336442, 10905664, 12910486, 14985372, 24158611).

It has been identified in 0.03% (13/35412) of Latino chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 47, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein.
