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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CDH23 c.5663T>C (p.Phe1888Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant was absent in 249258 control chromosomes. c.5663T>C has been observed in multiple homozygous or compound heterozygous individuals affected with sensorineural hearing loss (e.g. Schulz_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21940737). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4924). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with serine at codon 1888 of the CDH23 protein (p.Phe1888Ser). The phenylalanine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and serine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 15829536). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4924). 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: "Not Available"; Align-GVGD: "Class C65"). -
