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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 245 of the PCDH15 protein (p.Arg245Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs562377533, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PCDH15-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 164932). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PCDH15 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The Arg245Gln variant in PCDH15 has not been reported in individuals with hearin g loss and was not identified in large population studies. Computational analyse s (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SI FT) do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In s ummary, additional studies are needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Arg245Gln variant. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PCDH15 c.734G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg245Gln. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.022% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
