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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Aug 06, 2015	p.Thr26Thr in exon 2 of GJB2: This variant is not expected to have clinical sign ificance because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located with in the splice consensus sequence. It has been identified in 12/66708 African chr omosomes and 3/11578 Latino chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExA C, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs201848820). -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 18, 2017	Variant summary: The GJB2 c.78C>T (p.Thr26Thr) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect ESE sites. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 44/282948 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation at a frequency of 0.00197 (20/10150). This frequency is about 6 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GJB2 variant (0.0003376), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. This variant has been reported heterozygously in multiple affected individuals without strong evidence for causality. In addition, one other clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
