Genes affected
GJB6 (HGNC:4288): (gap junction protein beta 6) Gap junctions allow the transport of ions and metabolites between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. They are formed by two hemichannels, made up of six connexin proteins assembled in groups. Each connexin protein has four transmembrane segments, two extracellular loops, a cytoplasmic loop formed between the two inner transmembrane segments, and the N- and C-terminus both being in the cytoplasm. The specificity of the gap junction is determined by which connexin proteins comprise the hemichannel. In the past, connexin protein names were based on their molecular weight, however the new nomenclature uses sequential numbers based on which form (alpha or beta) of the gap junction is present. This gene encodes one of the connexin proteins. Mutations in this gene have been found in some forms of deafness and in some families with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

Variant summary: GJB6 c.607A>G (p.Met203Val) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00074 in 251404 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency is approximately 4700 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in GJB6 causing Hidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Syndrome phenotype (1.6e-07), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

Met203Val in exon 3 of GJB6: This variant is not expected to have clinical signi ficance. It has been identified in 1% (2/214) of a population studied for suscep tibility to noise, but did not include childhood hearing loss patients (Carlsson 2007). In addition, this variant is not conserved across all species and comput ational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD) do not predict an impact to the protein. -
