Description

The p.Glu120del variant in GJB2 has been reported in the homozygous state in more than ten probands and in the compound heterozygous state with another GJB2 pathogenic variant in more than nine probands with hearing loss (Najmabadi 2005, Tekin 2003, Hismi 2006, Marlin 2005, Mani 2008, LMM data). This variant has been identified in 17/126016 European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs80338947); however, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss. Functional studies indicate that the channels formed by the p.Glu120del mutant protein are inactive (Mani 2008). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_VeryStrong, PM2, PS2_Supporting
