Genes affected
TSPEAR (HGNC:1268): (thrombospondin type laminin G domain and EAR repeats) This gene encodes a protein that contains a N-terminal thrombospondin-type laminin G domain and several tandem arranged epilepsy-associated repeats (EARs). A mutation in this gene is the cause of autosomal recessive deafness-98. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 24, 2023This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 640 of the TSPEAR protein (p.Trp640Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs782145177, gnomAD 0.06%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSPEAR-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1203962). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TSPEAR protein function. 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 04, 2020In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 02, 2024The c.1918T>C (p.W640R) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 12) of the TSPEAR gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1918, causing the tryptophan (W) at amino acid position 640 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
