Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_033056.4(PCDH15):c.400C>T(p.Arg134*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,612,744 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R134R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Usher syndrome type 1F Pathogenic:4
Variant summary: PCDH15 c.400C>T (p.Arg134X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250744 control chromosomes. c.400C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with features of Usher Syndrome (example, Pepermans_2014, Yoshimura_2016, Ben-Rebeh_2016). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Three 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/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Arg134Ter variant in PCDH15 has been reported in 3 individuals with Usher syndrome type 1F (Ruiz_2016, PMID: 24940003, 27440999), segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives from 2 families (24940003, Ruiz_2016), and has been identified in 0.003% (1/30596) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs137853003). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 218194) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by Counsyl, Invitae, and Centre de Biotechnologie de Sfax (Université de Sfax). Of the 3 affected individuals, 2 of those were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Tyr579Ter variant is pathogenic (Ruiz_2016, PMID: 27440999). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 134, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the PCDH15 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Usher syndrome type 1F. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome type 1F. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3, PM2_supporting, PP1 (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg134*) in the PCDH15 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PCDH15 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11398101, 11487575, 14570705). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Usher syndrome (PMID: 27440999). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218194). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
