Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PM1PM5PP2BP6

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):c.499G>A(p.Val167Met) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000483 in 1,614,082 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V167A) has been classified as Likely pathogenic. The gene GJB2 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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

Specifications for GJB2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 18 uncertain in NM_004004.6

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr13-20189082-A-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 1339621.

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 autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 3A, ichthyosis, hystrix-like, with hearing loss, autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 1A, nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss, palmoplantar keratoderma-deafness syndrome, keratoderma hereditarium mutilans, Bart-Pumphrey syndrome, KID syndrome, autosomal dominant keratitis-ichthyosis-hearing loss syndrome, autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss, hearing loss, autosomal recessive, syndromic genetic hearing loss.

BP6

Variant 13-20189083-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-20189083-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 44757.
