Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 63 Pathogenic:1
- -
not provided Pathogenic:1
This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the LRTOMT gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LRTOMT protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs545947177, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness (PMID: 17211611, 18953341). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179792). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 5 (also known as exon 8) and introduces a new termination codon (PMID: 18953341). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. This variant disrupts a region of the LRTOMT protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg219*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26166082, 26969326, 35939872). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
The 358+4A>C variant in LRTOMT has been reported in a Turkish family with hearin g loss (Ahmed 2008, Kalay 2007), in which affected family members were homozygou s for this variant. In addition, the variant is absent in 176 race matched chrom osomes (Ahmed 2008) and from large population studies. This variant is located i n the 5' splice region and functional studies have shown that the variant result s in exon-skipping and leads to a frameshift and a premature stop codon (Ahmed 2 008). Although these findings suggest that loss of function variants in LRTOMT a re causative for hearing loss, the exact mechanism of disease for LRTOMT related hearing loss has not been established. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likel y pathogenic. -
