Genes affected

OTOA (HGNC:16378): (otoancorin) The protein encoded by this gene is specifically expressed in the inner ear, and is located at the interface between the apical surface of the inner ear sensory epithelia and their overlying acellular gels. It is prposed that this protein is involved in the attachment of the inner ear acellular gels to the apical surface of the underlying nonsensory cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness type 22 (DFNB22). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

OTOA Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 22

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, LIMITED Submitted by: Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, G2P, PanelApp Australia, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)
• nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE Submitted by: ClinGen
• hearing loss, autosomal recessive

  Inheritance: AR Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.91).
