Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 11    Pathogenic:1 
This variant occurred in heterozygosity in a patient with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss of onset <18 years, in a study of pediatric hearing loss conducted by the King Laboratory (Carlson RJ et al. JAMA-OtoHNS 2023). At the time of recruitment, this patient did not have known visual impairment (age 15y). This patient’s family has no other history of hearing loss. This variant is a nonsense that creates an early stop at position 2208 of the otherwise 2215 amino acid MYO7A protein. This stop is located within the final MYO7A exon and therefore extant truncated protein could interfere with the function of unaffected protein from the other allele, leading to a dominant inheritance pattern. As of January 2023, this variant has been reported to ClinVar as a variant of unknown significance and is not found on gnomAD. Based on the prediction that this variant leads to a truncated protein and goodness of fit of genotype to phenotype, we conclude that this variant is likely pathogenic. -
not specified    Uncertain:1 
The p.Gln2208X variant in MYO7A has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss. This variant was identified in 1/1250 Latino and 1/17806 Euro pean chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadins titute.org; dbSNP rs747095250). Although this variant has been seen in the gener al population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. T his nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at amino acid positi on 2208. There are a total of 2216 amino acids in the MYO7A protein (NM_000260. 3). Therefore, this alteration occurs within the terminal 50 bases of the last e xon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a t runcated protein. Whether the truncation of 8 amino acids disrupts the function of the MYO7A protein is unknown. In summary, the clinical significance of the p. Gln2208X variant is uncertain. -

not provided    Uncertain:1 
Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation as the last 8 amino acids are lost, although loss-of-function variants have not been reported downstream of this position in the protein; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
