Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001855444 SCV002271015 likely pathogenic not provided 2023-09-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 179 of the GJB2 protein (p.Asp179His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 23812555). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550847). 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. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
