Description

Published functional studies demonstrate a defect in intracellular trafficking to the cell memberane and, most importantly, aberrant function of connexin26 hemichannels (Di et al., 2005; Lopez et al., 2013; Taki et al., 2018); Located in highly conserved first extracellular domain of connexin 26, which is a known mutational hotspot for autosomal dominant, syndromic GJB2 disorders (Richard et al., 2002; UniProt Consortium, 2017; HGMD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21410767, 18986886, 23797419, 22951689, 27141831, 17381453, 21999526, 22643125, 15769851, 18987669, 20101161, 15823911, 15633193, 25575739, 26444850, 23924173, 25388846, 17106596, 28158657, 18412859, 16172043, 16679758, 19793313, 19175781, 28428247, 23797420, 11918723, 26810281, 30150638, 12072059, 11912510, 28981923, 29023238, 30168495, 33502802, 31705875)

Description

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 50 of the GJB2 protein (p.Asp50Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (PMID: 11918723, 15633193, 20101161, 23924173, 25575739, 27141831). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17020). 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: 18987669, 23797420). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
