Genes affected
MYO15A (HGNC:7594): (myosin XVA) This gene encodes an unconventional myosin. This protein differs from other myosins in that it has a long N-terminal extension preceding the conserved motor domain. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea. Mutations in this gene have been associated with profound, congenital, neurosensory, nonsyndromal deafness. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Read-through transcripts containing an upstream gene and this gene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode a fusion protein. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full length sequences have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1966*) in the MYO15A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MYO15A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17546645). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MYO15A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228373). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg1966X variant in MYO15A has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 1/53826 European chromosomes by t he Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enou gh to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant le ads to a premature termination codon at position 1966, which is predicted to lea d to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the MYO15A gene is an es tablished disease mechanism in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for non syndromic hearing loss in an autosomal recessive manner (www.partners.org/person alizedmedicine/lmm), based on the predicted impact of the variant. -
