Genes affected
OTOF (HGNC:8515): (otoferlin) Mutations in this gene are a cause of neurosensory nonsyndromic recessive deafness, DFNB9. The short form of the encoded protein has 3 C2 domains, a single carboxy-terminal transmembrane domain found also in the C. elegans spermatogenesis factor FER-1 and human dysferlin, while the long form has 6 C2 domains. The homology suggests that this protein may be involved in vesicle membrane fusion. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been found for this gene.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) Polyphen and MutationTaster predict this amino acid change may be damaging to the protein. -

Variant summary: OTOF c.2908C>T (p.Arg970Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the C2 domain (IPR000008) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00078 in 152148 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0026 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD v3 database (genomes data). The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in OTOF causing Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 9 phenotype (0.0011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Latino origin. c.2908C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with sensorineural hearing loss (Kothiyal_2010), however this report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 9. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: two have classified the variant as of uncertain significance and one as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Arg970Cys in exon 24 of OTOF: This variant has been identified in 0.1% (4/4422) of control chromosomes (rs140613217). This variant has also been identified in o ur laboratory in 0.5% (2/339) probands neither of which had a second OTOF varian t. In summary, this data suggests this variant is likely benign. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
