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.

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.84).
• BP6: Variant 13-20188898-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-20188898-G-T is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 44716.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AD,AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
