Hearing Loss VCEP
The NM_004004.6:c.107T>C variant in the GJB2 gene is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of leucine by proline at amino acid 36 (p.Leu36Pro). The highest population minor allele frequency of the variant is 0.01% (2/19954) in the East Asian population in gnomAD v.2.1.1, which does not meet any population codes based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel (BA1/BS1/PM2_Supporting not met). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.945, which is above the threshold necessary to apply PP3. This variant has been detected in trans with a pathogenic variant in three patients with hearing loss (4 points, PM3_VeryStrong; PMID:16125251, 16467727, 29605365, 31246659, Invitae internal date (SCV002241983.2)). The variant has also been reported in five individuals with no pathogenic variant reported in trans (PMIDs:17666888, 26043044, 31581539, 31992338). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP: PM3_VeryStrong, PP3 (ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP specifications version 2; 1/18/2022).

This variant has been detected in trans with a pathogenic variant in three patients with hearing loss (4 points, PM3_VeryStrong; PMID:16125251, 16467727, 29605365, 31246659, Invitae internal date (SCV002241983.2)).
The p.L36P variant was found in two North American individuals with unspecified hearing loss. No variant was identified in trans PubMed:17666888
Of 65 nonsyndromic pediatric cochlear implant patients with severe to profound hearing loss, the p.L36P variant was found in one African proband in trans with the 35delG variant. Four total African ethnicity probands were included in this study. PubMed:16125251
The p.Leu36Pro variant was found in trans with a c.79G>A (p.Val27Ile) and a c.341A>G (p.Glu114Gly) variant, in a Han Chinese hearing loss patient. Both variants found in trans are at high frequency in gnomAD and have been repeatedly reported as Benign in ClinVar. PubMed:26043044
