Description
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 43 of the GJB2 protein (p.Val43Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs776267945, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GJB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2429565). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Val43 amino acid residue in GJB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GJB2-related conditions (PMID: 12792423, 26043044), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
