Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM2 BP4_Moderate BP7

The NM_015404.4(WHRN):​c.1608C>T​(p.Thr536=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T536T) has been classified as Likely benign.

• Frequency: Genomes: not found (cov: 31)
• Consequence: WHRN NM_015404.4 synonymous
• Clinical Significance: Not reported in ClinVar
• Conservation: PhyloP100: 0.494

Genes affected

WHRN (HGNC:16361): (whirlin) This gene is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of sterocilia elongation and actin cystoskeletal assembly, based on studies of the related mouse gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness and Usher Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.42).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.494 with no splicing effect.
