Genes affected
TJP2 (HGNC:11828): (tight junction protein 2) This gene encodes a zonula occluden that is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homolog family. The encoded protein functions as a component of the tight junction barrier in epithelial and endothelial cells and is necessary for proper assembly of tight junctions. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with hypercholanemia, and genomic duplication of a 270 kb region including this gene causes autosomal dominant deafness-51. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

Variant summary: TJP2 c.143T>C (p.Val48Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251468 control chromosomes. c.143T>C has been reported in the homozygous state in the literature in multiple related individuals affected with Cholestasis, Progressive Familial Intrahepatic, 4 (example, Carlton_2003, Strauss_2009) and may be an Old Order Amish founder mutation which shows incomplete penetrance. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence showing a deleterious impact on purified protein function in vitro (example, Carlton_2003). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12704386, 19630565). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2907). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
