Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -16 ACMG points: 4P and 20B. PM1PM5BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBS1BS2

The NM_024009.3(GJB3):c.109G>A(p.Val37Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000211 in 1,614,080 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V37L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

SMIM12 (HGNC:25154): (small integral membrane protein 12) Predicted to be integral component of membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -16 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_024009.3
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-34784872-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 421156.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.052661836).
BP6
Variant 1-34784871-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-34784871-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 226643.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000177 (27/152190) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.00131 (20/15278). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000867. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 17 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd at 27 AD,Digenic gene.
