Genes affected

SOX10 (HGNC:11190): (SRY-box transcription factor 10) This gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional activator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. This protein acts as a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein and is important for neural crest and peripheral nervous system development. Mutations in this gene are associated with Waardenburg-Shah and Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

POLR2F (HGNC:9193): (RNA polymerase II, I and III subunit F) This gene encodes the sixth largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. In yeast, this polymerase subunit, in combination with at least two other subunits, forms a structure that stabilizes the transcribing polymerase on the DNA template. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

SOX10 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a short_sequence_motif Nuclear export signal (size 11) in uniprot entity SOX10_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_006941.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.987
• PP5: Variant 22-37983361-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-37983361-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 505653.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr22-37983361-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

The p.Trp142Arg variant in SOX10 has been reported in one individual with Kallma nn syndrome who had prelingual hearing loss and temporal bone abnormalities, inc luding hypoplasia of the semicircular canals and an enlarged vestibular aqueduct (Pingault 2013). It has also been reported by our laboratory to have likely occ urred de novo in 1 individual with congenital hearing loss and enlarged vestibul ar aqueducts, though parental identity has not been confirmed. This variant has not been identified in large population studies. In vitro studies showed that th e p.Trp142Arg variant altered the ability of SOX10 to localize to the nucleus an d to transactivate MITF and MPZ genes (Pingault 2013). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein . In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its c linical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant h earing loss with temporal bone abnormalities based on its presence in multiple a ffected individuals, likely de novo occurrence, extremely low frequency in the g eneral population, and supportive functional evidence. -
