Description
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 200 of the GJB2 protein (p.Gly200Arg). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GJB2 function (PMID: 23967136). 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: 225222). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 21094084, 24949729). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency).
