The NM_001371395.1(USP53):c.145-10_168delTGTTTTTTAGGTTTTATGGCAATTGGATATATTC(p.Val49_Arg57del) variant causes a splice acceptor, conservative inframe deletion, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★).
USP53 (HGNC:29255): (ubiquitin specific peptidase 53) Predicted to enable thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Predicted to be involved in response to auditory stimulus and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to act upstream of or within action potential and neuron apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in bicellular tight junction. Predicted to be active in cell-cell junction.

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.
PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.02886406 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.4, offset of 29, new splice context is: tgactggacatgtttgtcAGgga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 4-119245325-CCTGTTTTTTAGGTTTTATGGCAATTGGATATATT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-119245325-CCTGTTTTTTAGGTTTTATGGCAATTGGATATATT-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3064438.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The USP53 c.145-10_168del34 variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Val49Profs*41). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in USP53 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
