Description

Based on ACMG/AMP guidelines and Hearing Loss Expert Panel specific criteria: The c.229T>C, p.Trp77Arg variant has a filtering allele frequency of 0,00949% (7/34590 of Latino alleles with 95% CI) from Genome Aggregation Database v2.1.1 (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; calculated by using inverse allele frequency at https://www.cardiodb.org/allelefrequencyapp/), which meets the PM2_supporting criteria. This variant has been identified in trans with different pathogenic variants in at least four patients: (PMID: 9328482, 11935342, 15964725, 16088916, 16380907, 22785241, PMID:16467727, 16545002, 19371219) applying to PM3_VeryStrong. Computational evidence showed a damage impact of the mutation to the protein (REVEL: 0.934) meeting PP3 rule. Functional studies in HeLa cells and Xenopus laevis oocytes demonstrated a deleterious effect of the mutant without dominant effect to Human CX26 by dye transfer and junctional conductance measurements assays. In both cases the levels of dye transfer and conductance did not exceed background levels (PMID: 10556284, PMID: 12064630, PMID: 12505163) applying to PS3_Moderate rule. Therefore, the c.229T>C variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (PM2_Supporting, PM3_VeryStrong, PP3 and PS3_Moderate).
