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]

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27375115, 30068307, 26242193, 26186295, 30579095, 32747562, 35440622, 23767834, 24949729) -

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

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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2923*) 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45771). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 23767834). -

The p.Arg2923X variant in MYO15A has been reported in three individuals with hea ring loss who were compound heterozygous or homozygous (Shafique 2014, Yang 2013 , LMM unpublished data). This variant has been identified in 1/5372 of East Asia n chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstit ute.org; dbSNP rs373462792). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carri er frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at po sition 2923, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Hetero zygous loss of function of the MYO15A gene is an established disease mechanism i n autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic (www.partners.org/personalizedmedici ne/lmm). -
