Genes affected

OTOF (HGNC:8515): (otoferlin) Mutations in this gene are a cause of neurosensory nonsyndromic recessive deafness, DFNB9. The short form of the encoded protein has 3 C2 domains, a single carboxy-terminal transmembrane domain found also in the C. elegans spermatogenesis factor FER-1 and human dysferlin, while the long form has 6 C2 domains. The homology suggests that this protein may be involved in vesicle membrane fusion. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been found for this gene.

GeneDx

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: OTOF c.2401G>T (p.Glu801X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.012 in 237518 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.12 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 139 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 107 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in OTOF causing Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 9 phenotype (0.0011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2401G>T in individuals affected with Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 9 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign and likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

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). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
