Genes affected

LOXHD1 (HGNC:26521): (lipoxygenase homology PLAT domains 1) This gene encodes a highly conserved protein consisting entirely of PLAT (polycystin/lipoxygenase/alpha-toxin) domains, thought to be involved in targeting proteins to the plasma membrane. Studies in mice show that this gene is expressed in the mechanosensory hair cells in the inner ear, and mutations in this gene lead to auditory defects, indicating that this gene is essential for normal hair cell function. Screening of human families segregating deafness identified a mutation in this gene which causes DFNB77, a progressive form of autosomal-recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

ACMG classification

The p.Arg2067_Lys2068dup variant in LOXHD1 has not been previously reported in i ndividuals with hearing loss or large population studies. This variant is a dupl ication of two amino acids that adds one more repeat to the existing two repeats of the two amino acid residues at the locus and is not predicted to alter the p rotein reading-frame. It is unclear if this duplication will impact the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg2067_Lys2068dup variant is un certain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, BP3 (Richards 2015). -
