Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BA1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The filtering allele frequency of the c.629+5C>T variant in the COCH gene is 0.1% for European chromosomes by gnomAD (162/126474 with 95% CI), which is a high enough frequency to be classified as benign based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal dominant hearing loss variants (BA1).

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]

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.629+5C>T variant in COCH is classified as benign because it has been ident ified in 0.13% (162/126474) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.bro adinstitute.org). In addition, this variant is located in the 5' splice region, and computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BA1, BP4. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
