Genes affected
OTOGL (HGNC:26901): (otogelin like) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the otogelin family. This gene is expressed in the inner ear of vertebrates with the highest level of expression seen at the embryonic stage and lowest in adult. Knockdown studies in zebrafish suggest that this gene is essential for normal inner ear function. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness.

Reported as heterozygous in a patient with neonatal onset encephalopathy, brain atrophy with cerebellar malformation, and later-onset seizures who was also heterozygous for the p.(Q596H) variant; however, this patient harbored a homozygous nonsense variant in the TBCK gene which the authors concluded was likely the causative variant (PMID: 27040692); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34515852, 27040692)

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1216 of the OTOGL protein (p.Gln1216His). This variant is present in population databases (rs139375212, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with OTOGL-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 227822). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The histidine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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.

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The OTOGL p.Gln1216His variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs139375212) and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Laboratory for Molecular Medicine) but was not identified in LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in the literature in a family with TBCK-associated infantile syndromic encephalopathy; the OTOGL variant was not expected to contribute to the phenotype (Chong_2016_PMID:27040692). The variant was identified in control databases in 26 of 111558 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002331 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 24 of 12508 chromosomes (freq: 0.001919) and Latino in 2 of 8186 chromosomes (freq: 0.000244), but was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), European (non-Finnish), Other, or South Asian populations. The p.Gln1216 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however three out of four computational analyses (SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.

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

p.Gln1216His in exon 32 of OTOGL: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance due to a lack of conservation across species, including mammals. Of note, five mammals (pig, hedgehog, elephant, elephant shrew, and platypus) have a histidine (His) at this position despite high nearby amino acid conservation. In addition, it has been identified in 4/2052 African chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs139375212) .
