Genes affected
USH1C (HGNC:12597): (USH1 protein network component harmonin) This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the assembly of Usher protein complexes. The protein contains PDZ domains, a coiled-coil region with a bipartite nuclear localization signal and a PEST degradation sequence. Defects in this gene are the cause of Usher syndrome type 1C and non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 18. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg81Cys variant in USH1C has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or Usher syndrome and was absent from large population studies . Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Ar g81Cys variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg81Cys variant is uncertain. -

This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 81 of the USH1C protein (p.Arg81Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with USH1C-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229604). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
