Genes affected
PCDH15 (HGNC:14674): (protocadherin related 15) This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily. Family members encode integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. It plays an essential role in maintenance of normal retinal and cochlear function. Mutations in this gene result in hearing loss and Usher Syndrome Type IF (USH1F). Extensive alternative splicing resulting in multiple isoforms has been observed in the mouse ortholog. Similar alternatively spliced transcripts are inferred to occur in human, and additional variants are likely to occur. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

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. -

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. -

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. -
