Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_144672.4(OTOA):c.71_72del(p.Thr24SerfsTer43) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T24T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

OTOA (HGNC:16378): (otoancorin) The protein encoded by this gene is specifically expressed in the inner ear, and is located at the interface between the apical surface of the inner ear sensory epithelia and their overlying acellular gels. It is prposed that this protein is involved in the attachment of the inner ear acellular gels to the apical surface of the underlying nonsensory cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness type 22 (DFNB22). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 43 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-21678583-TAC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-21678583-TAC-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2800906.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr24Serfs*43) in the OTOA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in OTOA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11972037). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with OTOA-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
