Genes affected
GSDME (HGNC:2810): (gasdermin E) Hearing impairment is a heterogeneous condition with over 40 loci described. The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in fetal cochlea, however, its function is not known. Nonsyndromic hearing impairment is associated with a mutation in this gene. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 12, 2015Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Lys41fs varia nt in DFNA5 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, b ut has been identified in 0.21% (137/66836) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs758488919 ). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s a mino acid sequence beginning at position 41 and leads to a premature termination codon 113 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. However, only variants resulting in altered splic ing and skipping of exon 8 have been reported to be causative for hearing loss t hrough a gain of function mechanism of disease (Van Laer 2004). The p.Lys41fs va riant is located in exon 2 of DFNA5 and is expected to result in loss of functio n (LoF), which is not a known mechanism of hearing loss in this gene. In fact, a frameshift variant in DFNA5 has been reported in members of an Iranian family, in which the variant did not segregate with the hearing loss (Van Laer 2007). In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Lys41fs variant is uncertain, its frequency in the general population and the lack of evidence supporting a L oF mechanism for hearing loss in DFNA5 suggests it is more likely to be benign. -
Nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingINGEBI, INGEBI / CONICETJul 15, 2021Based on ACMG/AMP guidelines and Hearing Loss Expert Panel specific criteria: The filter allele frequency of c.119dupA in DFNA5 gene is 2.9% (330/10368 with 95%CI) in Ashkenazi Jewish population in gnomad database, exceeding the treshold for autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss stablished by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel group, meeting BA1. Although c.119dup is a frameshift variant (p.Lys41Glufs*113), it was reported that DFNA5-associated hearing loss is caused by a gain-of-function and not haplo-insufficiency (PMID:15173223, 7427029). Therefore PVS1 is not applied. In this report, c.119dupA was a confirmed de novo occurence identified in a sporadic congenital moderate non-syndromic hearing loss patient, meeting PS2. Considering BA1 and PS2, the variant is classifie as Benign. -
