Genes affected
TECTA (HGNC:11720): (tectorin alpha) The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia, and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. Alpha-tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the tectorial membrane. Mutations in the TECTA gene have been shown to be responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment and a recessive form of sensorineural pre-lingual non-syndromic deafness.

Reported in published literature in unrelated individuals with suspected autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss, each with a second TECTA variant, but it is not known whether the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes (PMID: 27068579, 29196752); Reported in published literature in association with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss in one family, where it was identified in cis with a splicing variant in the TECTA gene in all affected individuals tested (PMID: 21520338); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Within the ZA, zonadhesin and VWFD2, von Willebrand factor type D2 domains (PMID: 21520338, 31554319, 9590290); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25262649, 22995349, 27368438, 30245029, 29196752, 21520338, 27068579, 31554319, 9590290) -

Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 21 Uncertain:2

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A heterozygous missense variant, NM_005422.2(TECTA):c.2657A>G, has been identified in exon 9 of 23 of the TECTA gene. The variant is predicted to result in a minor amino acid change from asparagine to serine at position 886 of the protein (NP_005413.2(TECTA):p.Asn886Ser). The asparagine residue at this position has high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located within the VWFD 2 functional domain. In silico predictions for this variant are conflicting (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster). The variant is present in the gnomAD database at a frequency of 0.046% (130 heterozygotes). The variant has been previously described as a VUS and likely benign (ClinVar, Deafnessvariationdatabase, LOVD, Shearer, A. E., et al. (2014), Baux, D., et al. (2017)). An alternative change to histidine has also been reported as a VUS (Deafnessvariationdatabase). Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as a VARIANT of UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE with LOW CLINICAL RELEVANCE. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
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. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The p.Asn886Ser variant in TECTA has been previously reported in 7 individuals with sensorineural hearing loss (Baux 2017, Hildebrand 2011, Sommen 2016, Baux 2017, LMM data). In 3 of these individuals a second TECTA variant was identified (p.Glu1950del, p.Val205Leu, p.Cys1372*), though only one was likely to be pathogenic (p.Cys1372*). Furthermore, one of the previously reported probands had a family history of autosomal dominant hearing loss, and while the variant segregated with the disease in 12 affected family members, a more likely pathogenic variant in TECTA (c.5383+5_5383+8delGTGA) was identified in cis with p.Asn886Ser, suggesting that p.Asn886Ser was less likely related to the hearing loss in this family (Hildebrand, 2011). This variant has been identified in 0.07% (98/128646) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Asn886Ser variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, due to conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of the p.Asn886Ser variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3, PP3, BS1_Supporting, BP2. -
