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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 14, 2023	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 12 of the GJB2 protein (p.Gly12Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs1801002, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 10982180, 19371219, 24158611, 25288386). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21387). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB2 function (PMID: 11032405, 12176036, 25625422). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Mar 11, 2020	The GJB2 c.35G>T; p.Gly12Val variant (rs1801002) is a frequently reported pathogenic variant in Hispanic populations (see Purnick 2000, Putcha 2007, Rabionet 2000, Wu 2002). It has been found in a compound heterozygous state with the c.35delG variant and functional studies indicate the p.Gly12Val variant alters GJB2 protein function (D'Andrea 2012). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 21387) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.009% (21/244174 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on available information, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. REFERENCES D'Andrea P et al. Hearing loss: frequency and functional studies of the most common connexin26 alleles.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 03, 2016	Variant summary: The GJB2 c.35G>T (p.Gly12Val) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. Gly12 lies in an intracellular domain 1 (IC1) and is a known hot spot codon for recurrent disease-causing mutations. Multiple disease-causing variants are found on this codon: c.35delG (the most common DV), c.35dupG, G12R, G12D, and G12C. 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 6/119884 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00005, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GJB2 variant (0.025). This variant has been reported in several nonsyndromic hearing loss patients in the literature in either homozygous or compound homozygous state with other pathogenic variants which is consistent with pathogenic role in recessive module. In addition, according to an in vitro study (DAndrea_2002), Gly12Val substitution causes complete intracellular retention of the connexin and accumulates in large perinuclear vesicles. This dysfunction is accompanied by a significant decrease in its expression, suggesting that G12 is required for the maturation of connexin. Multiple laboratories via ClinVar also classify the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Considering all evidences, the variant has been classified as pathogenic. -

Based on ACMG/AMP guidelines and Hearing Loss Expert Panel specific criteria: the filtering allele frequency of c.35G>T, p.Gly12Val variant is 0,038% (20/34584) of Latino alleles and 0,009% in all populations from gnomAD v2.1.1 database meeting PM2_Supporting criteria. This variant has been found in trans with several pathogenic variants in at least 10 patients with non-syndromic hearing loss among different populations applying to PM3_VerySrong criteria (PMID: 10982180, 11556849, 12172394, 12666888, 19371219, 20233142, 26043044, 26409293, 24158611). Computational analysis predicted the p.Gly12Val change to be damaging to the protein (REVEL=0.95; PP3). Functional studies in HeLa demonstrated that p.Gly12Val mutant was not able to form functional channels since there was a significantly reduce of dye (LuciferYellow) transfer meeting PS3_Moderate rule (PMID:12176036). Therefore, the c.35G>T variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (PM2_Supporting, PM3_VeryStrong, PP3 and PS3_Moderate). -

The Gly12Val variant in GJB2 has been reported in 4 individuals with hearing los s (Kenna 2001, D'Andrea P 2002, Kenna 2010, Rabionet 2000, Snoeckx 2005). At lea st two of these individuals were compound heterozygous. In addition, functional studies suggest that the Gly12Val variant may impact protein function (D'Andrea P 2002). In summary, this data suggests that this variant is likely pathogenic. -

The GJB2 c.35G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly12Val. This variant has been reported in both the compound heterozygous and homozygous state in individuals with non-syndromic hearing loss (Rabionet et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10982180; Buonfiglio et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33096615; Figueroa-Ildefonso et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31370293). A different missense change impacting the same amino acid (c.34G>T, p.Gly12Cys) has been reported in individuals with hearing loss (Internal Data, PreventionGenetics). In vitro functional studies demonstrate reduced protein expression and also showed cellular localization is entirely intracellular (D'Andrea et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 12176036).This variant is reported in 0.058% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
