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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJun 28, 2022This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg91*) in the COCH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COCH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 29449721, 31126177). This variant is present in population databases (rs540895576, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 228524). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, flagged submissionclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineDec 04, 2015The p.Arg91X variant in COCH has not been previously reported in individuals wit h hearing loss, but has been identified in 4/66738 European chromosomes, 1/10406 of African chromosomes and 1/8652 in East Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggreg ation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs540895576). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 91 in exon 4 (of 12 exons), and is predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated mRNA decay leadin g to an absent protein. To date, only missense and small in-frame deletion varia nts have been reported as causative for hearing loss, which suggests a gain-of-f unction mechanism (Bae 2014). However, there is limited functional data to suppo rt this as an established disease mechanism for this gene and the impact of loss of function variants is currently unknown. In summary, the clinical significanc e of the p.Arg91X variant is uncertain. -
