Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points: 21P and 0B. PS3 PM1 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):​c.551G>C​(p.Arg184Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000316 in 1,613,890 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000698267: A functional study demonstrated R184P as a coupling deficient variant. In experiments with oligomerization of mutated connexin proteins R184P was detected only as monomeric protein, suggesting inability to form hemichannels further supporting pathogenicity." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R184W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points.

• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000698267: A functional study demonstrated R184P as a coupling deficient variant. In experiments with oligomerization of mutated connexin proteins R184P was detected only as monomeric protein, suggesting inability to form hemichannels further supporting pathogenicity.; SCV000914611: In vitro functional studies in HeLa cells showed that the p.Arg184Pro variant resulted in defective trafficking, exhibited increased RNA expression versus wild type and resulted in a coupling defect (Mani et al. 2009; Thönnissen et al. 2002). In Xenopus oocytes the variant protein was unable to induce formation of intracellular channels thus resulting in a loss of function (Bruzzone et al. 2003).; SCV000061525: "In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that this variant may impact protein function (Thonnissen 2002 PMID: 12189493, Bruzzone 2003 PMID: 12505163, Mani 2009 PMID: 18941476)."; SCV000779679: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect; variant results in the failure of intracellular coupling and gap junction channel formation (Thnnissen et al., 2002; Bruzzone et al., 2003).; SCV000885514: Functional assays suggest that this variant impairs membrane trafficking, intercellular coupling, and hemichannel formation (Bruzzone 2003, Mani 2009, Thonnissen 2002).; SCV000935561: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB2 function (PMID: 12176036, 12189494, 12505163, 15241677, 18941476).; SCV001476380: Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function.; SCV001433678: Functional studies demonstrated that: mutant protein is neither trafficked to membrane nor able to oligomerize efficiently and unable to form functional GJCh in HeLa cells (PMID: 12176036, 1218943). Moreover, p.Arg184Pro mutant did not induce the formation of homotypic junctional channels, since the levels of conductance measured never exceeded background values in Xenopus laevis oocytes (PMID: 12505163), PS3_Moderate
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_004004.6
