RCV000211773 | SCV000061497 | pathogenic | Rare genetic deafness | 2019-08-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The His100fs variant in GJB2 has been previously reported in several individuals with hearing loss who were homozygous or compound heterozygous (Abe 2000, Bayazit 2003, Gabriel 2001, Park 2000, Snoeckx 2005, Wang 2002, Zhang 2010, LMM unpublished data). This variant has also been identified in 0.09% (18/19950) of East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 100 and lead to a premature termination codon 14 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the GJB2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive hearing loss. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3, PM2_Supporting. |

RCV000255698 | SCV000322425 | pathogenic | not provided | 2022-06-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Published functional studies demonstrate the protein is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and cannot form gap junctions in the plasma membrane (Zhang et al., 2010); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 127 amino acids are lost and replaced with 13 incorrect amino acids, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in HGMD; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29234782, 10983956, 30693673, 31160754, 25266519, 19043807, 26119842, 16380907, 11438992, 11385713, 12111646, 22695344, 19366456, 10633133, 30589569, 30282152, 31195736, 30036422, 31347505, 30146550, 31564438, 29625052, 26689913, 31541171, 30275481, 32645618, 33726816, 33597575, 29871260, 22875492, 32973888, 20095872, 22991996) |

RCV000037835 | SCV000917454 | pathogenic | Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 1A | 2018-02-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: GJB2 c.299_300delAT (p.His100ArgfsX14) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. c.313_326delAAGTTCATCAAGGG, p.Lys105fsX5; c.334_335delAA, p.Lys112fsX2; c.370C>T, p.Gln124X). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-05 in 277508 control chromosomes (gnomAD and literature). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in GJB2 causing Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (7.2e-05 vs 2.60e-02), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The c.299_300delAT variant has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (Dai_2009, Hismi_2006, Abe_2000), in both compound heterozygotes and homozygotes. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |
Athena Diagnostics | RCV000255698 | SCV001143665 | pathogenic | not provided | 2022-03-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Experiments showed mutant proteins were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and thus unable to form gap junctions in the plasma membrane (PMID: 20095872). |

RCV000255698 | SCV001158571 | pathogenic | not provided | 2022-07-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The GJB2 c.299_300delAT; p.His100ArgfsTer14 variant (rs111033204) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with nonsyndromic hearing loss (Abe 2000, Chen 2016, Huang 2013, Wang 2002). Several affected individuals with this variant were also observed to carry a second pathogenic variant (Abe 2000, Huang 2013, Wang 2002), including two siblings confirmed to carry another frameshift variant in trans to p.His100ArgfsTer14 (Wang 2002). This variant is found in the East Asian population with an overall allele frequency of 0.09% (18/19950 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, and it is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 44736). This variant causes a frameshift by deleting two nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Abe S et al. Prevalent connexin 26 gene (GJB2) mutations in Japanese. J Med Genet. 2000 Jan;37(1):41-3.

RCV000037835 | SCV001194101 | pathogenic | Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 1A | 2019-12-20 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | NM_004004.5(GJB2):c.299_300delAT(H100Rfs*14) is classified as pathogenic in the context of GJB2-related DFNB1 nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 20095872 and 19366456. Classification of NM_004004.5(GJB2):c.299_300delAT(H100Rfs*14) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is not expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, literature evidence strongly supports pathogenicity. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. |

RCV000255698 | SCV001234132 | pathogenic | not provided | 2024-01-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His100Argfs*14) in the GJB2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 127 amino acid(s) of the GJB2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs111033204, gnomAD 0.09%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 10633133, 12111646, 20083784, 22991996, 24341454, 26043044, 27610647). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44736). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects GJB2 function (PMID: 20095872). This variant disrupts the p.Asn206 amino acid residue in GJB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12172394, 14985372, 15070423, 15967879). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
