Description

Variant summary: GJB2 c.95G>A (p.Arg32His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Connexin, N-terminal domain (IPR013092) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250526 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.95G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (e.g. Baux_2017, Marlin_2001, Mustapha_2001, Snoeckx_2005). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant affects gap junction functions by causing impaired membrane targeting and aberrant cellular localization (Xiao_2011). A ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Description

The GJB2 (c.95G>A) variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with Deafness, autosomal recessive 1A (Naddafnia et. al., 2019; Roux et. al., 2004). Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect on protein localization as the mutant protein is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (Xiao et al., 2011). The p.Arg32His variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes and has allele frequency of 0.0004% in gnomAD database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. The amino acid change p.Arg32His in GJB2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function. The amino acid Arg at position 32 is changed to a His changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. In the absence of another reportable variant /CNV in GJB2 gene, the molecular diagnosis is not confirmed.
