Genes affected
WHRN (HGNC:16361): (whirlin) This gene is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of sterocilia elongation and actin cystoskeletal assembly, based on studies of the related mouse gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness and Usher Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.81).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00135 (205/152358) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.00311 (15/4830). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00191. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 103 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 6 AR gene

Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 31 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
