Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM1BP4_ModerateBS1_Supporting

The NM_022124.6(CDH23):​c.7823G>A​(p.Arg2608His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000686 in 1,600,450 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 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. R2608C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
CDH23 (HGNC:13733): (cadherin related 23) This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily, whose genes encode calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoproteins. The encoded protein is thought to be involved in stereocilia organization and hair bundle formation. The gene is located in a region containing the human deafness loci DFNB12 and USH1D. Usher syndrome 1D and nonsyndromic autosomal recessive deafness DFNB12 are caused by allelic mutations of this cadherin-like gene. Upregulation of this gene may also be associated with breast cancer. Alternative splice variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

The CDH23 c.7823G>A variant was identified in an individual with retinitis pigmentosa with a presumed recessive inheritance pattern. Through a review of available evidence we were able to apply the following criteria: PM2, PP3. Based on this evidence we have classified this variant as Variant of Uncertian Significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

The missense variant NM_022124.6(CDH23):c.7823G>A (p.Arg2608His) has been reported in compound heterozygous state in multiple publications in individuals affected with nonsyndromic deafness (PMID: 12075507, PubMed: 26969326, PMID: 27018795) Usher syndrome (PMID: 33576794, PMID: 19683999) in at least 4 individuals with a likely pathogenic or rare allele (PubMed: 33576794, PMID: 30459346, PMID: 12075507, PubMed: 26969326). This variant was also present in heterozygous state in individuals affected with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (PMID: 30459346, PMID: 27018795). Another variant causing a different amino acid change (p.Arg2608Cys)) has been reported in an individual with nonsyndromic recessive deafness, who also had another variant in the same gene in homozygous state (PubMeD: 26226137). The p.Arg2608His variant is observed in 107/99,932 (0.1071%) alleles from individuals of gnomAD Non Finnish European background in gnomAD database, which is higher than that specified by the hearing loss expert working group (PubMed: 30311386). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis indicate that this change could be deleterious. Structural modeling studies indicated that this variant affect one of the outward facing residues in the CDH23 extracellular domain and might affect intramolecular hydrogen bonding and cis- dimer formation (PMID: 30033219). In summary, though the variant has been reported frequently patients with disease, the available evidence is insufficient to classify this variant with certainty. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: CDH23 c.7823G>A (p.Arg2608His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the cadherin repeat region (IPR002126) of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00067 in 224942 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CDH23 causing Usher Syndrome (0.00067 vs 0.0032), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.7823G>A has been observed in compound heterozygous state with a second pathogenic variant (though the phase was not specified in most cases) in individuals affected with Usher Syndrome (Jaijo_2009, Colombo_2021), nonsyndromic hearing loss (Astuto_2002, Wu_2016), and retinal disease (Zampaglione_2022). On the other hand, the variant has been reported in homozygous state in a patient affected with retinal disease (without hearing loss), who carried a homozygous pathogenic variant in another gene, which could explain the phenotype (Ortube_2014). The variant has been also reported in heterozygosity in affected individuals without detected second allele variant (Fuster-Garcia_2018, Mansard_2021, Wu_2016, Sloan-Heggen_2016). In one of these cases, co-occurring pathogenic variants could explain the phenotype (Mansard_2021). In many of the reported cases, the CDH23 gene was not completely sequenced, or other genes and large rearrangements were not assessed, thus these reports do not provide conclusive evidence for causality. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12075507, 27018795, 26969326, 19683999, 30459346, 33576794, 34948090, 24444108, 36460718, 34906470). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46040). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The p.Arg2608His variant in CDH23 has been reported in 0.1% (7/6982) of chromosomes from probands with either hearing loss or Usher syndrome, at least one of whom had an alternate genetic cause for their disease (Astuto 2002, Jaijo 2010; Malm 2011, LMM data). However, this variant has also been identified in 0.1% (116/115288) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which suggests that the variant is unlikely to be causative for disease. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of p.Arg2608His is uncertain, these data suggest that it is more likely benign. ACMG/AMP criteria: BS1_Supporting, PP3. -
