  1. CI confidence interval, OR odds ratio.
  2. Bold values indicate odds ratio exceeding 5 to meet PS4, as specified by the HL ClinGen group.
  3. aOnly probands (unrelated individuals) were counted. However, we could not rule out the possibility of related cases from different sites because cases were de-identified before being shared. Nevertheless, the likelihood of such occurrence would be low and would not significantly impact the conclusion.
  4. bThe total number of cases included in statistical analyses did not include BCH, DY, and GDWC where the total number of individuals tested at these sites were not available.
  5. cThe total population data were from Counsyl, CUHK, TAU, UNC, and gnomAD.
  6. dCompound heterozygosity was presumed in individuals with a second pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in GJB2 that had never been reported to have occurred in cis.
  7. eNA: Not available, because individual allele state information is not available from gnomAD.
  8. fAnalyses involving compound heterozygotes were performed using Counsyl data as the population control (see “Materials and Methods”).
