Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPM3_SupportingPVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.4085G>A (p.Trp1362Ter) nonsense variant in TECTA is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant exon 11 of 23 total exons, leading to a truncated or absent protein in a gene in which loss of function is an established mechanism of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (PVS1; PMID:30192042). This variant is present in 0.01121% (14/124864) of non-Finnish European chromosomes in gnomAD v2 (PM2_Supporting). It has been observed in at least two probands presenting with nonsyndromic hearing loss (PMID:31163360; LMM internal data SCV000711208.2). One individual harbored another nonsense variant in TECTA, which was suspected to be pathogenic (PM3_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss.

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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 13, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp1362*) in the TECTA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TECTA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11087000, 12746400, 17431902, 24130743). This variant is present in population databases (rs199638531, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 31163360). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 498538). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineDec 04, 2018The p.Trp1362X variant in TECTA has been identified in the heterozygous state in 1 family with hearing loss; however, this family also harbored pathogenic varia nts in different genes that may explain their hearing loss (LMM data). The p.Trp 1362X variant has also been identified in 0.01% (14/124864) of European chromoso mes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) and has been reported in ClinVa r (Variation ID 498538). Although this variant has been seen in the general popu lation, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier fr equency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at positio n 1362, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of fun ction of the TECTA gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessi ve hearing loss (Hildebrand 2011). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting. Please note that some truncating variant s in TECTA have been reported to segregate in an autosomal dominant manner (Coli n 2008, Hildebrand 2011); however, there is currently insufficient data to predi ct whether the p.Trp1362X variant can lead to dominantly inherited hearing loss. -
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 21 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017The TECTA c.4085G>A (p.Trp1362Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018) and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score for this variant, it could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change. No publications were found based on this search. Due to the potential impact of stop-gained variants and the lack of clarifying evidence, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for a recessive form of nonsyndromic hearing loss. -
