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]

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 172 of the GJB2 protein (p.Trp172Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs770330002, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 18941476). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557805). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GJB2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB2 function (PMID: 18941476). This variant disrupts the p.Trp172 amino acid residue in GJB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15790391, 20201936, 31195736). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
