Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):c.327_328delinsA(p.Glu110ArgfsTer2) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G109G) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 98 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-20189254-CC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20189254-CC-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 556762.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
