Genes affected
PCDH15 (HGNC:14674): (protocadherin related 15) This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily. Family members encode integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. It plays an essential role in maintenance of normal retinal and cochlear function. Mutations in this gene result in hearing loss and Usher Syndrome Type IF (USH1F). Extensive alternative splicing resulting in multiple isoforms has been observed in the mouse ortholog. Similar alternatively spliced transcripts are inferred to occur in human, and additional variants are likely to occur. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

The p.Arg1106Ter variant in PCDH15 has been reported in 2 individuals with Usher syndrome type 1F (PMID: 19375528, 18484607) and has been identified in 0.004% (5/113538) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs202033121). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 46464) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by Fulgent Genetics, Counsyl, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine), Invitae, and Natera, Inc.. Of the 2 affected individuals, 1 of those was a homozygote, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg1106Ter variant is pathogenic (PMID: 19375528). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1106, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the PCDH15 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Usher syndrome type 1F. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome type 1F. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PM3_supporting (Richards 2015). -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1106*) in the PCDH15 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PCDH15 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11398101, 11487575, 14570705). This variant is present in population databases (rs202033121, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Usher syndrome (PMID: 18484607, 19375528). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46464). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg1106X variant in PCDH15 has been reported in the homozygous state in on e individual with Usher syndrome type I (Ammar-Khodja 2009). It has also been id entified in 5/111450 European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gn omAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs202033121). Although this varian t has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be con sistent with a recessive carrier frequency. The p.Arg1106X variant leads to a pr emature stop codon at position 1106, which is predicted to lead to a truncated o r absent protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pa thogenic for autosomal recessive Usher syndrome based on the previously reported individual, low frequency in the general population, and predicted loss of func tion of the protein. -
