Genes affected

COCH (HGNC:2180): (cochlin) The protein encoded by this gene is highly conserved in human, mouse, and chicken, showing 94% and 79% amino acid identity of human to mouse and chicken sequences, respectively. Hybridization to this gene was detected in spindle-shaped cells located along nerve fibers between the auditory ganglion and sensory epithelium. These cells accompany neurites at the habenula perforata, the opening through which neurites extend to innervate hair cells. This and the pattern of expression of this gene in chicken inner ear paralleled the histologic findings of acidophilic deposits, consistent with mucopolysaccharide ground substance, in temporal bones from DFNA9 (autosomal dominant nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness 9) patients. Mutations that cause DFNA9 have been reported in this gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. Additional splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described but their biological validities have not been demonstrated. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Jan 17, 2023	Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational tools predict that this variant is not damaging. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 01, 2022	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 8 of the COCH protein (p.Ala8Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs200935305, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with COCH-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 667098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The threonine 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. -

The c.22G>A (p.A8T) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the COCH gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 22, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 8 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The p.Ala8Thr variant in COCH is likely benign because it is present in 0.02% (2 0/65614) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http ://exac.broadinstitute.org), and computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein. Of note, marmose t and squirrel monkey have a threonine (Thr) at this position. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1, BS4. -
