Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4
The NM_033056.4(PCDH15):c.593C>T(p.Pro198Leu) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000457 in 1,612,156 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/24 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P198P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Observed in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa who was also heterozygous for variants in other genes in published literature (PMID: 28912962); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28912962) -
The p.Pro198Leu variant in PCDH15 has been previously identified by our laboratory in three individuals with hearing loss who did not have a second PCDH15 variant. This variant has also been identified in 0.03% (50/128964) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Pro198Leu variant is uncertain, available data suggest that it is more likely to be benign. PM2_Supporting, BP4. -
This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 198 of the PCDH15 protein (p.Pro198Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs145232643, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PCDH15-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46509). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
The c.593C>T (p.P198L) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the PCDH15 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 593, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 198 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Usher syndrome type 1 Uncertain:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
