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

A heterozygous missense variant was identified, NM_004004.5(GJB2):c.439G>A in exon 2 of the GJB2 gene. This substitution creates a minor amino acid change from a glutamic acid to a lysine at position 147, NP_003995.2(GJB2):p.(Glu147Lys). The glutamic acid at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC) and in silico predictions of the pathogenicity of this variant are conflicting (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster).This variant is present in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.001% and it has been previously reported in patients with autosomal recessive deafness (ClinVar, Frei, K. et al. (2004) and Cryns, K. et al. (2004)).It is situated in the third transmembrane domain, which has been shown to be essential for protein function (Frei K. et al. (2004). Based on current information and in association with the NM_004004.5(GJB2):c.35delG deletion variant, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC.The presence of these two variants suggests a possible compound heterozygous mode of inheritance which is consistent with autosomal recessive deafness. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 147 of the GJB2 protein (p.Glu147Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs767178508, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 14676473, 21465647, 30168495, 30344259). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371709). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJB2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

Based on ACMG/AMP guidelines and Hearing Loss Expert Panel specific criteria: the c.439G>A, p.(Glu147Lys) was observed only once in South Asian, Latino and European non-Finnish populations from Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), meeting PM2 criteria. This was detected in trans with at least 4 different pathogenic variants applying to PM3_VeryStrong rule (PMID: 14676473, 21131880, 14985372, 21465647, 26043044). Besides, it segregated in three affected siblings with congenital moderate-profound hearing loss meeting PP1_Moderate criteria (PMID:14676473). Computational evidence predicted a damage impact of the mutation to the protein (REVEL score: 0,94; PP3). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss: PM2, PM3_VeryStrong, PP1_Moderate and PP3. -

The p.Glu147Lys variant in GJB2 has been reported in 8 individuals with hearing loss, including 3 homozygotes and 5 individuals who were compound heterozygous f or a second pathogenic variant (Cryns 2004, de Oliveira 2007, Dodson 2011, Frei 2004, Gravina 2010, Lin 2011, Snoeckx 2005, Zheng 2015). In addition, the varian t segregated in the homozygous state in two affected siblings in one family (Fre i 2004). This variant is present in 3/245794 total chromosomes by gnomAD (http:/ /gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which is low enough to be consistent with a recessi ve carrier frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis s uggest an impact to the protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be c lassified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_VeryStrong, PM2, PP1_Moderate, PP3. -
