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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Gap junction beta-2 protein (size 225) in uniprot entity CXB2_HUMAN there are 70 pathogenic changes around while only 16 benign (81%) in NM_004004.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.997
• PP5: Variant 13-20189407-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20189407-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 496215.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Variant summary: The GJB2 c.175G>C (p.Gly59Arg) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and is located in N-terminal region of the protein (InterPro). 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (PP3). This variant is absent in 121328 control chromosomes from ExAC (PM2). This variant has been reported in at least one patient with autosomal dominant palmoplanter keratoderma with deafness (Leonard_2005), and this variant as a confirmed de novo mutation with confirmed parentage (PS2). Other missense variants at this residue (namely p.Gly59Asp, p.Gly59Ala and p.Gly59Ser) have also been reported in association with autosomal dominant form of hearing loss with variable phenotypic expressivity (PM1, PM5). Multiple databases concluded its pathogenicity as pathogenic (PP5). Taken together, according to ACMG guideline, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
