Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Moderate PP5

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):c.415A>T(p.Ser139Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S139N) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_004004.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr13-20189166-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 44749.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Pathogenic=14, Benign=1, Likely_pathogenic=4}.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.935
• PP5: Variant 13-20189167-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20189167-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 553209.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 139 of the GJB2 protein (p.Ser139Cys). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Ser139 amino acid residue in GJB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11493200, 12172394, 16380907, 16864573, 17041943, 21465647, 27785406). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJB2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553209). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 23751281). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
