Genes affected

MYO15A (HGNC:7594): (myosin XVA) This gene encodes an unconventional myosin. This protein differs from other myosins in that it has a long N-terminal extension preceding the conserved motor domain. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea. Mutations in this gene have been associated with profound, congenital, neurosensory, nonsyndromal deafness. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Read-through transcripts containing an upstream gene and this gene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode a fusion protein. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full length sequences have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1129*) in the MYO15A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MYO15A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17546645). This variant is present in population databases (rs748868741, gnomAD 0.04%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 27068579). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 505802). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg1129X variant in MYO15A has been previously reported in at least 2 individuals with hearing loss (Sommen 2016, LMM unpublished data). One individual had a second likely pathogenic MYO15A variant identified, though phasing was not performed (LMM unpublished data). This variant has been identified in 0.04% (14/34518) of Latino chromosomes bygnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org); however, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a carrier frequency for hearing loss. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1129, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of MYO15A gene function is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive hearing loss. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting. -
