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]

Reported in a patient with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who also harbored a gene conversion event involving the STRC gene on the opposite allele (in trans) in the published literature (PMID: 36086952); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 36086952) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg832Trp variant in STRC has been identified by our laboratory in two individuals with hearing loss who also had a STRC/CATSPER2 deletion. This variant has been identified in 0.0001% (1/10124) Latino/Admixed American chromosomes and 0.006% (1/1742) other chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org); however, these frequency estimates may not be reliable due to low coverage of this region. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that the Arg832Trp variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_Strong, PP3. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2494C>T (p.R832W) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the STRC gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2494, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 832 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
