Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM3_Strong PP3 PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_004004.6(GJB2):c.563A>G variant in GJB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of lysine by arginine at amino acid 188 (p.Lys188Arg). The highest population minor allele frequency of the variant is 0.00025% (3/1180000) in the European (non-Finnish) population in gnomAD v.4.0.0 (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in at least three probands with hearing loss (2.5 PM3_Strong points). Two probands were compound heterozygous (one confirmed trans, the other one assumed trans) with the pathogenic c.35delG, p.G12Vfs variant (Clinvar ID: 17004, PMID 17666888, internal data from GeneDx). Another proband was compound heterozygous for the pathogenic variant p.Leu90Pro (ClinVar ID: 17016, University of Minnesota internal data). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.9 meeting PP3. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PM2_Supporting, PM3_Strong, PP3 (VCEP specifications version 2; 01.17.2024).

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]
