Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1

The NM_015404.4(WHRN):​c.1696G>C​(p.Val566Leu) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000144 in 1,599,926 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 18/24 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V566M) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
WHRN (HGNC:16361): (whirlin) This gene is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of sterocilia elongation and actin cystoskeletal assembly, based on studies of the related mouse gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness and Usher Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.014628887).
BP6
Variant 9-114407949-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr9-114407949-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 45662.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000112 (17/152302) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.000409 (17/41564). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00026. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 7 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
