Genes affected
TMC1 (HGNC:16513): (transmembrane channel like 1) This gene is considered a member of a gene family predicted to encode transmembrane proteins. The specific function of this gene is unknown; however, it is known to be required for normal function of cochlear hair cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with progressive postlingual hearing loss and profound prelingual deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 445 of the TMC1 protein (p.Arg445Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs372710475, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 19187973, 24416283). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179070). 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 expected to disrupt TMC1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The best available variant frequency is uninformative because it is below the disease allele frequency. Found in at least one symptomatic patient. Predicted to have a damaging effect on the protein. Strong co-segregation with disease in affected and unaffected individuals, but from a single family. -

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

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The TMC1 c.1333C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg445Cys. This variant was reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in multiple patients with hearing loss (Sirmaci et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19187973; Ganapathy et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24416283; Nishio et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34523024). This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss Pathogenic:1

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: TMC1 c.1333C>T (p.Arg445Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-05 in 251326 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TMC1 causing Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 7 (7.2e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1333C>T has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in multiple individuals affected with Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness (e.g. Sirmaci_2009, Ganapathy_2014, Nishio_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24416283, 34523024, 30303587, 19187973). Five ClinVar submitters have assessed this variant since 2014: one classified the variant as likely benign, three as uncertain significance, and one as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The Arg445Cys variant in TMC1 has been reported in 5 families with hearing loss (Sirmaci 2009, Ganapathy 2014, LMM unpublished data). In one family, the varian t is homozygous in 3 siblings with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive sensorineura l hearing loss and heterozygous in 4 unaffected relatives (Sirmaci 2009). In an other family, it is homozygous in two affected individuals (Ganapathy 2014). Th is variant has been identified in 0.01% (1/8600) of European American chromosome s by the NHLBI Exome sequencing project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). Alt hough this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In addition, comput ational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that the Arg445Cys va riant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough t o determine pathogenicity. In summary, this variant is likely to be pathogenic, though additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significa nce. -
