Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004004.6(GJB2):c.523_533delCCCAACACTGT(p.Pro175GlyfsTer31) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000248 in 1,613,970 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar 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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro175Glyfs*31) in the GJB2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 52 amino acid(s) of the GJB2 protein. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GJB2-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the GJB2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Cys211Leufs*5) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9529365, 12910486, 20863150). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228350). -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Pro175fs variant in GJB2 has not been previously reported in individuals w ith hearing loss. This variant was absent from large population studies, though the ability of these studies to accurately detect indels may be limited. This va riant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 175 and leads to a premature termination codon 31 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncate d or unstable protein. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classif ied as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss based on the predicted im pact of the variant. -
