Genes affected

WHRN (HGNC:16361): (whirlin) This gene is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of sterocilia elongation and actin cystoskeletal assembly, based on studies of the related mouse gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness and Usher Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Arg542Lys varia nt in DFNB31 has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified b y our laboratory. This residue is conserved across species; however, computation al analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD) do n ot provide strong support for or against pathogenicity. The Arg542Lys variant oc curs in the second to last base of the exon. This position is part of the splici ng consensus sequence and variants involving this position sometimes affect spli cing. However, splicing prediction programs suggest that this variant will not s ignificantly impact splicing. It should be noted that this lab has only sequence d DFNB31 in 8 Ashkenazi Jewish probands and no Ashkenazi Jewish healthy controls . In addition, healthy control information is limited in both public databases o r scientific literature, such that the full spectrum of benign variation has not yet been defined for this population. Future analysis could reveal that the Arg 542Lys variant is common in this population and therefore unlikely to be pathoge nic. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 542 of the WHRN protein (p.Arg542Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs200040563, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WHRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45659). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
