Genes affected

TECTA (HGNC:11720): (tectorin alpha) The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia, and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. Alpha-tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the tectorial membrane. Mutations in the TECTA gene have been shown to be responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment and a recessive form of sensorineural pre-lingual non-syndromic deafness.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Tyr293Cys variant in TECTA has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 7/33582 of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs185351501). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, i ts frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational pr ediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impac t the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out path ogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Tyr293Cys variant is u ncertain.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.878A>G (p.Y293C) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 6) of the TECTA gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 878, causing the tyrosine (Y) at amino acid position 293 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
