Description

Also identified in individuals with nonsyndromic hearing loss in whom no second pathogenic variant was identified (Wu et al., 2003; Azaiez et al., 2004; Bonyadi et al., 2014); Published functional studies suggest that the S139N variant is associated with abnormal localization of the protein (Fleishman et al., 2006); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19235794, 20668687, 20083784, 26284228, 12172394, 17666888, 19173109, 20981092, 21162657, 27785406, 27535533, 30275481, 31160754, 16864573, 32003480, 32596493, 20234132, 28483220, 30344259, 26778469, 15365987, 15656949, 16380907, 19366456, 17041943, 26444186, 25266519, 12925341, 16950989, 21465647, 22695344, 24529908, 28576516, 27018795, 29754767, 23891399, 25388846, 27153395, 27792752, 11493200, 22995991, 25087612, 12910486, 24033266)

Description

The GJB2 c.416G>A; p.Ser139Asn variant (rs76434661) is reported in the literature in multiple unrelated individuals affected with sensorineural hearing loss, and in many individuals a second pathogenic variant was also identified (Dodson 2011, Gao 2016, Li 2014, Marlin 2001, Plevova 2018, Santos 2005, Snoeckx 2005, Tang 2006, Xing 2016). Additionally, the p.Ser139Asn variant is reported to co-segregate with disease in a proband and an affected sibling (Santos 2005), and functional analysis shows the variant protein fails to correctly localize to plasma membrane junctions (Fleishman 2006). This variant is classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 44749). It is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.03% (89/282358 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The serine at codon 139 is highly conserved, but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.633). Based on available information, including its occurrence in multiple affected individuals, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Dodson KM et al.

Description

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 139 of the GJB2 protein (p.Ser139Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs76434661, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hearing loss (PMID: 11493200, 12172394, 16380907, 17041943, 21465647, 27785406). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44749). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GJB2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB2 function (PMID: 16864573). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Studies in HeLa cells showed defective localization and coupling (PMID: 16864573). In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic.
