Genes affected
STRC (HGNC:16035): (stereocilin) This gene encodes a protein that is associated with the hair bundle of the sensory hair cells in the inner ear. The hair bundle is composed of stiff microvilli called stereocilia and is involved with mechanoreception of sound waves. This gene is part of a tandem duplication on chromosome 15; the second copy is a pseudogene. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
CKMT1B (HGNC:1995): (creatine kinase, mitochondrial 1B) Mitochondrial creatine (MtCK) kinase is responsible for the transfer of high energy phosphate from mitochondria to the cytosolic carrier, creatine. It belongs to the creatine kinase isoenzyme family. It exists as two isoenzymes, sarcomeric MtCK and ubiquitous MtCK, encoded by separate genes. Mitochondrial creatine kinase occurs in two different oligomeric forms: dimers and octamers, in contrast to the exclusively dimeric cytosolic creatine kinase isoenzymes. Many malignant cancers with poor prognosis have shown overexpression of ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase; this may be related to high energy turnover and failure to eliminate cancer cells via apoptosis. Ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase has 80% homology with the coding exons of sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase. Two genes located near each other on chromosome 15 have been identified which encode identical mitochondrial creatine kinase proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 16 Pathogenic:2
Feb 28, 2023
King Laboratory, University of Washington
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

This variant occurred in compound heterozygosity with an STRC full gene deletion 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). This patient's family has no other history of hearing loss. This variant is a nonsense leading to an early stop at position 1730 of 1775 in the stereocilin protein. As of January 2023, this variant has been reported to ClinVar as likely pathogenic and is found in 6 heterozygotes on gnomAD. Based on the prediction that this variant leads to a truncated protein, compound heterozygosity with a loss-of-function variant, and goodness of fit of genotype to phenotype, we conclude that this variant is pathogenic. -

Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Aug 16, 2016
Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg1730X variant in STRC has now been identified by our laboratory in two individuals with hearing loss, who both harbored a deletion of the STRC gene on the remaining allele. This variant has also been identified in 1/5598 Latino chr omosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.o rg; dbSNP rs139956283); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent w ith a recessive carrier frequency. This alteration occurs 51 bases from the end of the second to last exon and is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent pro tein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish it s clinical significance, the p.Arg1730X variant is likely pathogenic based on it s identification in multiple affected individuals, its occurrence in trans with another pathogenic variant in the same gene, and the predicted impact to the pro tein. -
