Description

Based on ACMG/AMP guidelines and Hearing Loss Expert Panel specific criteria: the filtering allele frequency of the c.-22-2C>T variant in GJB2 gene is 23,4% in African population (5941/24866 alleles with 95%CI) in Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; calculated by using inverse allele frequency at https://www.cardiodb.org/allelefrequencyapp/). This is a high enough frequency, based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel, for autosomal recessive hearing loss variants to apply for BA1 rule. This high frequency is also supported by different publications in which controls subjects from different African populations were tested (PS4 not met, PMID: 27501294, 21392827). Benign computational prediction obtained from DANN, CADD and MaxEntScan predictors applying to BP4 rule. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as benign for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (BA1, BP4).
