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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.8).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Feb 11, 2011	Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The -3209C>T varian t in GJB2 has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified by o ur laboratory. This variant is located in the 5'UTR. Although we cannot rule out a deleterious impact on the regulation of splicing or translation of GJB2, to d ate no disease-causing variants have been found in this region of the transcript . In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined wit h certainty at this time; however based upon the available data, we would lean t owards a more likely benign role. -
