Genes affected

TJP2 (HGNC:11828): (tight junction protein 2) This gene encodes a zonula occluden that is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homolog family. The encoded protein functions as a component of the tight junction barrier in epithelial and endothelial cells and is necessary for proper assembly of tight junctions. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with hypercholanemia, and genomic duplication of a 270 kb region including this gene causes autosomal dominant deafness-51. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.35).

The p.Arg962Gly variant in TJP2 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. Computational pr ediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or ag ainst an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.A rg962Gly variant is uncertain. -

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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180069). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TJP2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 19 of the TJP2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TJP2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
