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]

The GJB2 c.564_565delGA; p.Lys188AsnfsTer21 variant (rs770116143) is reported in the literature in an individual with hearing loss (Azaiez 2004). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 371691). It is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting two nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Azaiez H et al. GJB2: the spectrum of deafness-causing allele variants and their phenotype.

The p.Lys188fs variant in GJB2 has been reported in 1 individual with hearing lo ss (Azaiez 2004). This variant has been identified in 2/10270 African chromosome s by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbS NP rs770116143); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a r ecessive carrier frequency. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, whi ch alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 188 and leads to a premature termination codon 21 amino acids downstream. In summary, this var iant is pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss based on its predicted i mpact on the protein. -
