Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001110219.3(GJB6):​c.263C>T​(p.Ala88Val) 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 Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A88E) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr13-20223218-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989
• PP5: Variant 13-20223218-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-20223218-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 5545.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-20223218-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset.In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.92). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000005545 / PMID: 11017065). The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 10730756, 11017065, 14708603, 17160938, 24052723, 30620052). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 88 of the GJB6 protein (p.Ala88Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (also known as Clouston syndrome) (PMID: 11017065, 14708603, 23863883, 27137747). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5545). 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 not expected to disrupt GJB6 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on GJB6 function (PMID: 12419304, 15213106, 24522190, 24685692). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
