Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM3 PS3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.339T>G variant in GJB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of serine by arginine at amino acid 113. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.0.0 is 0.02% (7/26136 alleles) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). The computational predictor REVEL provides a score of 0.553 which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging or benign impact on GJB2 function (PP3 and BP4 are not met). An in vitro functional study performed in Xenopus oocytes showed that variant junctional conductance for p.Ser113Arg was similar to water (negative control), indicating a loss of function impact on protein function (PS3_Moderate; PMID:12505163). The p.Ser113Arg variant has been reported in several probands with hearing loss, including 3 individuals with a second pathogenic variant without phase confirmation (1.5 points, PM3, PMID:15365987, 11439000, 9529365, 16380907, 24078562). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP: PS3_Moderate, PM3. (ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP specifications version 2; 01/17/2024). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA342004/MONDO:0019497/005

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]
