Genes affected

POU3F4 (HGNC:9217): (POU class 3 homeobox 4) This gene encodes a member of the POU-III class of neural transcription factors. This family member plays a role in inner ear development. The protein is thought to be involved in the mediation of epigenetic signals which induce striatal neuron-precursor differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with X chromosome-linked nonsyndromic mixed deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 1 uncertain in NM_000307.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.947

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Val322Met v ariant in POU3F4 has not been reported in the literature nor previously identifi ed by our laboratory in any other families. However, this mutation occurs withi n the POU homeodomain (amino acids 279-336) where almost all pathogenic missense mutations have been identified. In addition, this residue is conserved across m ammals and lower species and computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, MAPP) suggest that the Val322Met variant may impact the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, the cl inical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time; however based upon the arguments described above, we would lean towards a more likely pathogenic role. -
