Genes affected

PCDH15 (HGNC:14674): (protocadherin related 15) This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily. Family members encode integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. It plays an essential role in maintenance of normal retinal and cochlear function. Mutations in this gene result in hearing loss and Usher Syndrome Type IF (USH1F). Extensive alternative splicing resulting in multiple isoforms has been observed in the mouse ortholog. Similar alternatively spliced transcripts are inferred to occur in human, and additional variants are likely to occur. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Variant summary: PCDH15 c.4907_4908delAA (p.Lys1636ArgfsX7) located in the last exon of the gene results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay. Truncating variants in the last exon of PCDH15 have uncertain impact on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 251448 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in PCDH15 causing Usher Syndrome Type 1F (4.8e-05 vs 0.0032), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4907_4908delAA has been reported in the literature in one individual in a carrier screening (Perreault_2014). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Usher Syndrome Type 1F. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
