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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 28, 2020Nonsense variant in the C-terminus predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 130 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in the Human Gene Mutation Database (Stenson et al., 2014); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31589614, 32747562, 15070423, 28405014, 24529908, 19371219, 17935238, 25560255, 11584050, 22695344, 22000900, 25012701, 15488970, 24039984) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 16, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188821). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (PMID: 11584050, 15070423, 19371219, 22695344). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs786204491, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr97*) in the GJB2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 130 amino acid(s) of the GJB2 protein. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 25, 2023The c.290dupA (p.Y97*) alteration, located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the GJB2 gene, consists of a duplication of A at position 290. This changes the amino acid from an aspartic acid (D) to a stop codon at amino acid position 97. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature; however, because GJB2 is a single-exon gene this alteration is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and a truncated protein could still be expressed (Maquat, 2004). This alteration removes the last 130 amino acids of the protein and the exact functional impact of these amino acids is unknown at this time. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ for autosomal recessive GJB2-related non-syndromic hearing loss; however, its clinical significance for autosomal dominant GJB2-related non-syndromic hearing loss and autosomal dominant GJB2-related syndromic hearing loss with ectodermal involvement is uncertain._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Manually add references to AVA4 alteration page for Maquat 2004:_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ 15040442 Based on data from gnomAD, this allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (4/282386) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.003% (4/128904) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state or in trans with another GJB2 pathogenic variant in multiple individuals with clinical features of GJB2-related non-syndromic hearing loss (Mustapha, 2001; Abbaspour Rodbaneh, 2021; Bonyadi, 2014). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
