Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Apr 28, 2017 | This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. - |
not specified Benign:2
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine | Feb 11, 2020 | The c.-22-6T>C variant in GJB2 is classified as likely benign because it has been identified in 0.09% (114/126646) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), a T>C change at this nucleotide position does not diverge from the splice consensus sequence making it unlikely to impact splicing, and computational splice prediction tools do not predict an impact on splicing. While it has been previously reported in 6 individuals with hearing loss, these individuals were heterozygous and a second GJB2 or DFNB1 pathogenic variant was not identified (Tang 2006, Stanghellini 2014, Figueroa-Ildefonso 2019, LMM Data). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 228700). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Feb 21, 2022 | Variant summary: GJB2 c.-22-6T>C alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00049 in 249434 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00094 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. Though this frequency may rule out an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, it is not higher than the estimated maximum for a pathogenic variant in GJB2 causing Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (0.026), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.-22-6T>C, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (Tang_2006, Stanghellini_2014, Figueroa-Ildefonso_2019), however in none of these cases was a second GJB2 mutation in trans detected. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments with a majority consensus as benign/likely benign (n=5). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. - |

Ichthyosis, hystrix-like, with hearing loss Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Apr 28, 2017 | This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. - |
