Description

Variant summary: GJB2 c.246C>G (p.Ile82Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the transmembrane domain (Palmada 2006) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 246170 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.246C>G has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous individuals affected with Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (Kupka 2002, Bartsch 2010, Danilenko 2012, Snoeckx 2005). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, demonstrating profound reduction in channel activity as determined by electrophysiological analysis on Xenopus oocytes expressing the mutant protein (Palmada 2006). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
