Genes affected
PCDH15 (HGNC:14674): (protocadherin related 15) This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily. Family members encode integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. It plays an essential role in maintenance of normal retinal and cochlear function. Mutations in this gene result in hearing loss and Usher Syndrome Type IF (USH1F). Extensive alternative splicing resulting in multiple isoforms has been observed in the mouse ortholog. Similar alternatively spliced transcripts are inferred to occur in human, and additional variants are likely to occur. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCounsylDec 28, 2017- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneID Lab - Advanced Molecular DiagnosticsMar 10, 2018This variant results in an amino acid alteration replacing a proline (P) with a serine (S) at position 1783 creating a premature stop signal in the new reading frame noted as p.R80Pfs*69. The substitution is predicted to result in a non-functional PDCH15 protein, either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This mutation is considered a non-tolerated amino acid change based on in silico prediction algorithms (disease causing), and it has not been reported in the ClinVar Database (NCBI National Library of Medicine, NIH, Bethesda MD), but it has been described in 12 alleles out of 50254, in the ExAC database, all of them belonging to heterozygous carries of Latino origin. Based on these findings and the limited literature regarding this substitution we consider it as a likely pathogenic variant. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 02, 2024Variant summary: PCDH15 c.5347_5363del17 (p.Pro1783SerfsX59) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 189612 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PCDH15 causing Usher Syndrome Type 1F (0.00011 vs 0.0032), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.5347_5363del17 in individuals affected with Usher Syndrome Type 1F and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. However, an upstream truncating variant NM_033056.4:c.4831_4834dup (p.Thr1612fs) has been universally classified as Likely Benign/Benign by at least 5 laboratories in ClinVar and has a gnomAD frequency of ~1% in the African/African American subpopulation, including 4 homozygotes. These data suggest the C-terminal region downstream of p.Thr1612 may be dispensable for PCDH15 function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555843). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
