Genes affected
ESPN (HGNC:13281): (espin) This gene encodes a multifunctional actin-bundling protein. It plays a major role in regulating the organization, dimensions, dynamics, and signaling capacities of the actin filament-rich, microvillus-type specializations that mediate sensory transduction in various mechanosensory and chemosensory cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive neurosensory deafness, and autosomal dominant sensorineural deafness without vestibular involvement. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 25, 2022This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 744 of the ESPN protein (p.Asp744Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908135, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ESPN-related conditions (PMID: 15930085, 33297549). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4421). 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"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ESPN function (PMID: 15930085). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesFeb 20, 2018The p.Asp744Asn variant (rs121908135) was reported in one patient with severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and transfection of this variant in epithelial cell culture resulted in about 10 times higher presence of irregular microvilli patches compared to wild-type (Donaudy 2006). This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with a frequency of 0.04 percent in the European Non-Finnish population (identified on 44 out of 117,486 chromosomes) and has been reported to the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 4421). The aspartic acid at position 744 is highly conserved and computational analyses of the effects of the p.Asp744Asn variant on protein structure and function indicate a deleterious effect (SIFT: damaging, MutationTaster: disease causing, PolyPhen-2: probably damaging). Altogether, there is not enough evidence to classify the p.Asp744Asn variant with certainty. -
