Invitae RCV000798022 SCV000937614 pathogenic not provided 2021-05-17 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Asn206 amino acid residue in GJB2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GJB2-related conditions (PMID: 12172394, 14985372, 15070423, 15967879), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the affected amino acid(s) is currently unknown. This variant has been observed in several individuals affected with non-syndromic hearing loss (PMID: 12497637, 20553101, 17666888). This variant is present in population databases (rs747847191, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the GJB2 gene (p.Val193Cysfs*3). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 34 amino acids of the GJB2 protein.
Athena Diagnostics Inc RCV000798022 SCV001476381 pathogenic not provided 2020-02-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV003230592 SCV003929344 pathogenic Nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss 2023-04-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: GJB2 c.576delA (p.Val193CysfsX3) 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. At-least one truncation downstream of this position has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251358 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.576delA has been reported in the literature as heterozygous and bi-allelic genotypes in individuals affected with Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss and hearing-impairment (examples: Zoll_2002, Putcha_2007 and Siem_2010). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
