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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The c.4376-6G>A var iant in LOXHD1 has been previously identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with hearing loss who carried a homozygous variant in another gene that was suff icient to explain their disease. It has also been identified in 1/8398 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitut e.org; dbSNP rs369463541). This variant is located in the 3' splice region. Comp utational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing. In addition, the guanine ( G) nucleotide at position c.4376-6 is not conserved in mammals or evolutionarily distant species and 9 mammals carry an adenine (A), supporting that a change at this position may be tolerated. However, this information is not predictive eno ugh to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of th e c.4376-6G>A variant is uncertain, the presence of the variant nucleotide in ot her species and predicted lack of impact on splicing suggest that it is more lik ely to be benign. -
