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.

The Arg423X variant in DFNB31 has not been reported in the literature nor previo usly identified by our laboratory. The Arg423X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 423, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent prot ein. As such, this variant meets our criteria for pathogenicity. -
