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]

Variant summary: The GJB2 c.358G>A (p.Glu120Lys) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 3/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index); however, functional studies had not been published at the time of classification to confirm these in silico predictions. This variant was found in 4/121052 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000033, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GJB2 variant (0.025). The variant was observed in 2 patients from the literature without significant evidence of causality (i.e. co-segregation data). The variant had not been classified by other clinical labs, but was reported as a pathogenic variant by one database without evidence to independently evaluate. Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 120 of the GJB2 protein (p.Glu120Lys). The glutamic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and lysine. This variant is present in population databases (rs528216023, ExAC 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 17666888; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with the variant being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447444). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C55"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
