Genes affected

GJB3 (HGNC:4285): (gap junction protein beta 3) This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. Mutations in this gene can cause non-syndromic deafness or erythrokeratodermia variabilis, a skin disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.

Pathogenic:1

Mar 10, 2018

GeneID Lab - Advanced Molecular Diagnostics

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant creates a premature stop signal at position 235 of the GJB3 protein, written as p.Arg235Ter or p.R235*. The substitution is predicted to result in a non-functional GJB3 protein, either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This mutation is considered a non-tolerated amino acid change based on in silico prediction algorithms (disease causing), and it has not been reported in the ClinVar Database (NCBI National Library of Medicine, NIH), but it has been described in 3 alleles out of 119888, in the ExAC database, all of them belonging to heterozygous carries of European origin. Based on these findings and the limited literature regarding this substitution we consider it as a likely pathogenic variant. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg235*) in the GJB3 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 36 amino acid(s) of the GJB3 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs144964568, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GJB3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 561271). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
