Description

In-frame deletion of one amino acid in the cytoplasmic loop, a non-repeat region; Published functional studies demonstrate c.358_360delGAG impairs the function of gap channels (Bruzzone et al., 2003; Mani et al., 2009); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22975760, 29485809, 15070423, 11438992, 20609484, 10544226, 12673800, 15666300, 15967879, 16712961, 12505163, 18941476, 27573290, 27177978, 29501291, 31160754, 32747562, 33096615, 31589614, 33105617, 34581455, 34695157)

Description

This variant, c.358_360del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the GJB2 protein (p.Glu120del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs80338947, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 10544226, 11438992, 15070423, 16712961, 18941476, 20553101, 20609484, 25214170). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17006). 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 variant affects GJB2 function (PMID: 12505163, 18941476). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
