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 was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.12082654).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000024 (35/1461296) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.000783 (35/44714). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000578. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 19 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

The p.Pro686Thr variant in DFNB31 has been previously identified by our laborato ry in 1 Hispanic individual with hearing loss; however, a variant on the remaini ng copy of DFNB31 has not been identified. It has been identified in 10/11564 La tino chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadins titute.org; dbSNP rs201690920). Although this variant has been seen in the gene ral population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical signif icance of the p.Pro686Thr variant is uncertain. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 686 of the WHRN protein (p.Pro686Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs201690920, gnomAD 0.09%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WHRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45666). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This 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. -
