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]

Nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel | curation | ClinGen Hearing Loss Variant Curation Expert Panel | Mar 28, 2024 | The c.2T>G (p.Met1Arg) variant in GJB2 may cause a truncated or absent protein by altering the start codon of the coding sequence and is predicted to lead to the omission of a critical region of the protein. There have been multiple pathogenic variants observed in the region between this site and the next expected start codon (PVS1; ClinVar Variation IDs: 21387, 188758). There are also multiple pathogenic/likely pathogenic start-loss variants at this position which may indicate that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (ClinVar Variation IDs: 44729, 550716, 2070085, 371781). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). The variant has been reported in an individual with prelingual and profound hearing loss in a compound heterozygous manner with the pathogenic variant c.35delG, p.G12Vfs (1 PM3 point, Clinvar ID: 17004) and segregated in two affected siblings (PP1_Moderate, PMID: 36472766). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3, PP1_Moderate (VCEP specifications version 2; 10.24.2023). - |
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Jan 31, 2023 | For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon alters GJB2 gene expression (PMID: 12189493). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551915). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 9482292, 10218527, 18941476, 20146813, 29605365). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the GJB2 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 34. - |
