Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_013296.5(GPSM2):c.1876G>C(p.Val626Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000155 in 1,613,264 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
GPSM2 (HGNC:29501): (G protein signaling modulator 2) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of proteins that modulate activation of G proteins, which transduce extracellular signals received by cell surface receptors into integrated cellular responses. The N-terminal half of this protein contains 10 copies of leu-gly-asn (LGN) repeat, and the C-terminal half contains 4 GoLoco motifs, which are involved in guanine nucleotide exchange. This protein may play a role in neuroblast division and in the development of normal hearing. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness (DFNB82). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
CLCC1 (HGNC:29675): (chloride channel CLIC like 1) Predicted to enable chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transport. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 32. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
AKNAD1 (HGNC:28398): (AKNA domain containing 1) This gene encodes a protein which contains a domain found in an AT-hook-containing transcription factor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

The Val626Leu variant in GPSM2 has not been previously reported in individuals w ith hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. Computational pre diction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or aga inst an impact to the protein. In summary, additional information is needed to d etermine the clinical significance of this variant. -
