Genes affected

MYO15A (HGNC:7594): (myosin XVA) This gene encodes an unconventional myosin. This protein differs from other myosins in that it has a long N-terminal extension preceding the conserved motor domain. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea. Mutations in this gene have been associated with profound, congenital, neurosensory, nonsyndromal deafness. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Read-through transcripts containing an upstream gene and this gene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode a fusion protein. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full length sequences have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.62).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jul 15, 2024	Variant summary: MYO15A c.5964+3G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant strengthens a 5' donor site. Two predict the variant creates a 5' donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.9e-05 in 174324 control chromosomes. c.5964+3G>A has been reported in the literature as compound heterozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with Autosomal Recessive Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss 3 (Gao_2013, Liang_2021, Sun_2019, Zhang_2019). 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: 24206587, 34265623, 30896630, 30953472). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1202140). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:1 Benign:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Apr 23, 2023	This variant is also known as IVS25+3G>A. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1202140). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 24206587, 30896630, 30953472, 34265623, 34416374, 34974475, 35346193). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs530975087, gnomAD 0.04%). This sequence change falls in intron 26 of the MYO15A gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MYO15A protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
