Genes affected
CLRN1 (HGNC:12605): (clarin 1) This gene encodes a protein that contains a cytosolic N-terminus, multiple helical transmembrane domains, and an endoplasmic reticulum membrane retention signal, TKGH, in the C-terminus. The encoded protein may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIIa. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Usher syndrome type 3 Pathogenic:6
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 14, 2018Variant summary: CLRN1 c.528T>G (p.Tyr176X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00073 in 277070 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The variant, c.528T>G, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Usher Syndrome Type 3 and is considered the most common disease variant in Finland (Joensuu_2001, Isosomppi_2009). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two 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. -

This nonsense c.528T>G (p.Tyr176*) variant has been previously identified in 52 homozygous and 2 compound heterozygous individuals with Usher syndrome type III (PMID: 11524702).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 19, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr176*) in the CLRN1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 57 amino acid(s) of the CLRN1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs121908140, gnomAD 0.7%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Usher syndrome type 3 (PMID: 11524702, 12145752, 22681893). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as Y100X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4392). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects CLRN1 function (PMID: 19753315). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 26, 2013The Tyr176X variant in CLRN1 has been previously identified in 52 homozygous and 2 compound heterozygous individuals with Usher syndrome type III (Joensuu 2001) . This variant has been identified in 1/8,600 European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs1 21908140). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its fr equency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 176, which i s predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant m eets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic in a recessive manner for Ushe r syndrome (http://pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). -
