Description

Based on ACMG/AMP guidelines and Hearing Loss Expert Panel specific criteria: the filtering allele frequency of the c.358_360del variant in GJB2 which leads to p.(Glu120del) change is 0,008% (17/128492 European non-Finnish alleles with 95% CI) in Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; calculated by using inverse allele frequency at https://www.cardiodb.org/allelefrequencyapp/), which meets PM2_Supporting criteria. The c.358_360del variant is predicted to cause a protein length change due to an in-frame deletion that is not located in a repetitive region applying to PM4 rule. This variant was detected in trans with at least 4 pathogenic variants among different hearing loss patients (PMID: 1054426, 12673800, 15666300, 24158611) applying to PM3_VeryStrong criteria. Functional studies showed that p.Glu120del mutant did not induce the formation of homotypic junctional channel since the conductance levels measured did not exceed the background levels in Xenopus laevis oocytes (PMID:12505163). Besides, no dye transfer (Lucifer Yellow) was observed when p.Glu120del mutant was tested in HeLa cells (PMID:18941476) meeting PS3_Moderate rule. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss: PM2_Supporting, PM4, PM3_VeryStrong, PS3_Moderate.
