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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg80Profs*69) in the USH1C gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USH1C are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973247, 17407589, 20301442, 21203349). This variant is present in population databases (rs397515359, gnomAD 0.2%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome type I (PMID: 10973248, 12702164, 17407589, 26969326). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5141). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: USH1C c.238dupC (p.Arg80ProfsX69) 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 0.00028 in 249768 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in USH1C causing Usher Syndrome (0.00028 vs 0.0029), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.238dupC has been reported in the literature in the homozygous state in at least 1 individual affected with Usher Syndrome (example, Sloan-Heggen_2016). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26969326). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5141). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The USH1C c.238dupC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Arg80Profs*69). This variant has been reported to be causative for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome (Bitner-Glindzicz et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10973248; Bujakowska et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25468891; Ouyang et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12630964; Table S3, Sloan-Heggen et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26969326). This variant is reported in 0.20% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in USH1C are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.Arg80fs variant in USH1C has been reported as a homozygous variant in at l east 5 individuals and as a compound heterozygous variant in at least 8 individu als with Usher syndrome, was absent in 552 control chromosomes, and segregated w ith a second pathogenic variant in 5 affected siblings (Bitner-Glindzicz 2000, B laydon 2003, Ebermann 2007, Le Quesne Stabej 2012, Ouyang 2003, Verpy 2000, Zwae nepoel 2001). It has been identified in 35/64768 European chromosomes by the Ex ome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs148597 739); however, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive car rier frequency. This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein?s amin o acid sequence beginning at position 80 and lead to a premature termination cod on 69 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a tru ncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be clas sified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome. -
