Description

The GJB2 c.56G>C; p.Ser19Thr variant (rs80338941) has been reported in individuals with hearing loss and has been found in trans with the pathogenic 35delG variant (D'Andrea 2002, Putcha 2007, Rabionet 2000). Functional studies show the variant protein has normal expression but is unable to form functional gap-junction channels in HeLa cells (D'Andrea 2002). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 21389) and observed in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.001% (3/244518 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the above information, this variant is considered likely pathogenic. REFERENCES D'Andrea P et al. Hearing loss: frequency and functional studies of the most common connexin26 alleles.

Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Ser19 amino acid residue in GJB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GJB2-related conditions (PMID: 26188157), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB2 function (PMID: 12176036). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21389). This missense change has been observed in individuals with non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 10982180, 15146474, 16077952, 24158611). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs80338941, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 19 of the GJB2 protein (p.Ser19Thr).

Description

Published functional studies demonstrate the p.S19T variant results in near total loss of function for gap-junction channels (D'Andrea et al., 2002); Observed multiple times with a pathogenic variant in unrelated patients in published literature, but it is not known whether the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes (Shen et al., 2019; Buonfiglio et al., 2020; Dalamon et al., 2013); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16077952, 26553399, 12176036, 33096615, 16380907, 35457072, 19230829, 11439000, 10982180, 19285578, 15070423, 25388846, 15146474, 24158611, 31160754, 16950989)
