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]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Arg238X varia nt in DFNA5 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, b ut has been identified in 0.4% (27/6614) of Finnish chromosomes by the Exome Agg regation consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs200758965). T his nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 238, whi ch is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. However, only variants resulting in altered splicing and skipping of exon 8 have been reported to be c ausative for hearing loss through a gain of function mechanism of disease (Van L aer 2004). The p.Arg238X variant is located in exon 6 of DFNA5 and is expected t o result in loss of function (LoF), which is not a known mechanism of hearing lo ss in this gene. In fact, a frameshift variant in DFNA5 has been reported in mem bers of an Iranian family, in which the variant did not segregate with the heari ng loss (Van Laer 2007). In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Ar g238X variant is uncertain, its frequency in the Finnish population and the lack of evidence supporting a LoF mechanism for hearing loss in DFNA5 suggests it is more likely to be benign. -
