Description

The c.35delG variant in GJB2 is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 2/2 that leads to a truncated or absent protein in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism (PVS1). This variant has been detected in patients with hearing loss in trans with at least 4 pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic variants (PM3_VS; PMID: 26445815). This variant was found to have a statistically higher prevalence in affected individuals over controls (PS4; PMID: 26969326, 25999548). The filtering allele frequency of the c.35delG variant in the GJB2 gene is 0.9% for European (Non-Finnish) chromosomes in the Genome Aggregation Database (1207/124552 with 95% CI), which is a high enough frequency to be classified as benign based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss variants (BA1). The ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel believes that the evidence for the pathogenicity of this variant for hearing loss outweighs the high allele frequency of the variant in population databases. Therefore, the BA1 code will not contribute to the overall classification. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PVS1, PM3_VS, PS4, BA1.
