Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 8 Pathogenic:7
Pathogenic by Deafness Variation Datatbase -
This variant was identified in compound heterozygosity with another variant in the same gene in a male patient with prelingual bilateral severe hearing loss -
in compound heterozygosis with the c.1276G>A variant in three siblings with bilateral non-syndromic sensorineural postlingual progressive hearing loss; 7 normal hearing heterozygous of either variant, 2 normal hearing w/o variants (familial) -
The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.008%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 26506222). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (3billion dataset). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least one similarly affected relative/individual in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 26506222). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000243026 /PMID: 26506222 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Across a selection of the available literature, the TMPRSS3 c.916G>A (p.Ala306Thr) variant has been identified in a homozygous state in two siblings and in a compound heterozygous state in 15 individuals from nine families with autosomal recessive hearing loss (Elbracht et al. 2007; Weegerink et al. 2011; Lee et al. 2013; Chung et al. 2014; Gao et al. 2017). The variant was also found in a heterozygous state in at least three family members with normal hearing. Co-segregation of the variant with disease was demonstrated in at least one family (Gao et al. 2017), and has been suggested to be a founder variant in the Korean population, as two families with the variant were found to share the same haplotype (Chung et al. 2014). The p.Ala306Thr variant was absent from 1770 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.00104 in the East Asian population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. An in vitro yeast-based protease assay showed that the p.Ala306Thr variant-containing protein exhibited significantly reduced protease activity compared to the wild type protein as well as proteins containing other missense variants, consistent with the location of the variant near the Asp304 active site (Chung et al. 2014). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Ala306Thr variant is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

not provided Pathogenic:6
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 306 of the TMPRSS3 protein (p.Ala306Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs181949335, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with non-syndromic hearing loss (PMID: 17551081, 23208854, 24526180, 28246597, 28695016, 31045651). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It is commonly reported in individuals of Korean and Chinese ancestry (PMID: 24526180, 28695016). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46131). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TMPRSS3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

TMPRSS3: PM3:Very Strong, PP1:Strong, PM2 -
Published functional studies suggest a significant defect in protease activity compared to wild type (PMID: 24526180); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34416374, 23208854, 21786053, 28246597, 23958653, 17551081, 31045651, 31980526, 31589614, 35961784, 35062939, 34599368, 34868270, 28695016, 34519870, 24526180, 36871673) -

Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
The p.Ala306Thr variant in TMPRSS3 has been reported in >10 individuals with autosomal recessive hearing loss and segregated in >10 affected relatives in >5 families (Elbracht 2007, Weegerink 2011, Schrauwen 2012, Lee 2013, Chung 2014, Gao 2017a, Gao 2017b). All affected individuals were either homozygous or compound heterozygous. This variant has also been identified in 0.06% (12/19954) of East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). However, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In vitro functional studies support an impact on protein function (Chung 2014). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis also support a functional impact. In summary, the p.Ala306Thr variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss.
