Description

This sequence change replaces arginine with histidine at codon 219 of the GJB1 protein (p.Arg219His). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and histidine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 9361298). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect GJB1 function (PMID: 12460545, 21280457). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
