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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln124*) in the GJB2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 103 amino acid(s) of the GJB2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs397516874, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness (PMID: 9600457, 24840842, 29921236, 30168495). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44744). This variant disrupts a region of the GJB2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg216Ilefs*17) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11102979, 17041943, 17666888, 25288386). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -
