Genes affected
CDH23 (HGNC:13733): (cadherin related 23) This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily, whose genes encode calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoproteins. The encoded protein is thought to be involved in stereocilia organization and hair bundle formation. The gene is located in a region containing the human deafness loci DFNB12 and USH1D. Usher syndrome 1D and nonsyndromic autosomal recessive deafness DFNB12 are caused by allelic mutations of this cadherin-like gene. Upregulation of this gene may also be associated with breast cancer. Alternative splice variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect; minigene functional splicing assay showed p.(R1746Q) causes aberrant splicing: a novel acceptor site is generated and exclusively used, resulting in in-frame exclusion of 51 bp, a predicted loss of 17 amino acid residues, including a DINDN Ca2+-binding motif, in EC17 (Becirovic et al., 2008); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25468891, 28847902, 33089500, 12075507, 20613545, 25472526, 21940737, 32795431, 31980526, 32707200, 32037395, 35020051, 32991204, 11138009, 35186827, 18273900, 35076463, 35440622, 36056583) -

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been reported to associate with Usher syndrome and nonsyndromic hearing loss (PMID: 11138009, 12075507, 21940737). Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal RNA splicing. Experiments show this variant creates a novel splice site, resulting in the in-frame deletion of 17 amino acids from the protein (PMID: 18273900). This variant segregates with disease in at least one family. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1746 of the CDH23 protein (p.Arg1746Gln). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and likely results in the loss of 17 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs111033270, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome and autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 11138009, 21940737, 25472526). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4916). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on CDH23 protein function. Studies have shown that this missense change results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in exon 41 (PMID: 18273900, 21940737). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CDH23 c.5237G>A (p.Arg1746Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant creates a cryptic exonic alternate 3' splice acceptor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing resulting in the exclusion of 51-base pairs of exonic sequence consistent with the computational predictions (example, Becirovic_2008). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.8e-05 in 249208 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CDH23 causing Usher Syndrome (6.8e-05 vs 0.0032), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.5237G>A has been reported in the literature as homozygous and compound heterozygous genotypes in multiple individuals affected with hearing loss and/or Usher syndrome (example, Bolz_2001, Kannan-Sundhari_2020, Schultz_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The CDH23 c.5237G>A (p.Arg1746Gln) missense variant has been identified in individuals with both Usher syndrome and nonsyndromic hearing loss who present with a range of phenotypes. The majority of the patients reported in the literature were diagnosed with Usher syndrome but some individuals with nonsyndromic hearing loss were also identified. Across a selection of the literature, the p.Arg1746Gln variant was reported in a homozygous state in six patients, in a compound heterozygous state in eight patients, in a heterozygous state in two patients in whom a second variant was not identified, and in a heterozygous state in one unaffected individual (Bolz et al. 2001; Astuto et al. 2002; Schultz et al. 2011; Zhao et al. 2015). Control data are not available for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.00011 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Functional testing by Becirovic et al. (2008) indicated that the p.Arg1746Gln variant creates a novel splice acceptor site that results in an in-frame deletion of 51 base pairs and the exclusion of a calcium binding motif. Based on the collective evidence, the p.Arg1746Gln variant is classified as pathogenic for CDH23-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

The c.5237G>A (p.R1746Q) alteration is located in exon 41 (coding exon 40) of the CDH23 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 5237, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1746 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the CDH23 c.5237G>A alteration was observed in 0.0071% (20/280,608) total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.013% (17/128,412) in the European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation. The c.5237G>A (p.R1746Q) alteration has been previously reported in either the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in multiple unrelated individuals with an Usher syndrome or deafness phenotype (Bolz, 2001; Schultz, 2011; Zhao, 2015) The p.R1746 amino acid is conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional analysis demonstrated that the p.R1746Q alteration creates a new cryptic splice acceptor site (Becirovic, 2008) The in silico prediction for the p.R1746Q alteration is inconclusive._x000D_ _x000D_ In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Arg1746Gln variant in CDH23 has been reported in >10 probands with Usher s yndrome and in 3 individuals with hearing loss (Bolz 2001, Astuto 2002, Schultz 2011, Bujakowska 2014, LMM data). Eight of these probands were compound heterozy gous for a second pathogenic variant, and two were homozygous. The variant has also segregated in 11 affected family members across 3 families (Bolz 2001, Schu ltz 2011, LMM data). This variant has been identified in 15/126682 European ch romosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAd, http://gnomad.broadinstitu te.org; dbSNP rs111033270); however, its frequency is low enough to be consisten t with a recessive carrier frequency. In addition, mRNA studies revealed that t his variant affects splicing, causing in-frame skipping of 51 base pairs and sub sequently leading to a loss of 17 amino acids of the protein (Becirovic 2008). I n summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autoso mal recessive Usher syndrome based on case observations, segregation studies, an d functional evidence.
