Genes affected

USH1C (HGNC:12597): (USH1 protein network component harmonin) This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the assembly of Usher protein complexes. The protein contains PDZ domains, a coiled-coil region with a bipartite nuclear localization signal and a PEST degradation sequence. Defects in this gene are the cause of Usher syndrome type 1C and non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 18. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7, offset of -26, new splice context is: ctgGTaggc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-17526345-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-17526345-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 554188.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554188). This variant is also known as IVS8+2T>G. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Usher syndrome (PMID: 12107438; Invitae). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the USH1C gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in USH1C are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973247, 17407589, 20301442, 21203349). -
