Genes affected
LOXHD1 (HGNC:26521): (lipoxygenase homology PLAT domains 1) This gene encodes a highly conserved protein consisting entirely of PLAT (polycystin/lipoxygenase/alpha-toxin) domains, thought to be involved in targeting proteins to the plasma membrane. Studies in mice show that this gene is expressed in the mechanosensory hair cells in the inner ear, and mutations in this gene lead to auditory defects, indicating that this gene is essential for normal hair cell function. Screening of human families segregating deafness identified a mutation in this gene which causes DFNB77, a progressive form of autosomal-recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

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, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

This sequence change falls in intron 32 of the LOXHD1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LOXHD1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs373466081, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LOXHD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 47942). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The 5085+6G>A varia nt in LOXHD1 has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified b y our laboratory. This variant is located in the 5' splice region. Computational tools do not suggest and impact to splicing. However, this information is not p redictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. This variant has been identified in 0.03% (1/3182) of European American chromosomes in a broad population by the NHL BI Exome sequencing project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). Although this v ariant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. In summary, the clinical significance of this va riant cannot be determined with certainty; however, based upon the computational splicing predictions and its presence in the general population, we would lean towards a more likely benign role. -
