Genes affected

USH1C (HGNC:12597): (USH1 protein network component harmonin) This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the assembly of Usher protein complexes. The protein contains PDZ domains, a coiled-coil region with a bipartite nuclear localization signal and a PEST degradation sequence. Defects in this gene are the cause of Usher syndrome type 1C and non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 18. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -21 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.79).
• BP6: Variant 11-17531247-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr11-17531247-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 48012.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr11-17531247-G-A is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-4.33 with no splicing effect.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.0712 is higher than 0.05.

not specified Benign:2

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Nov 07, 2011	Leu98Leu in exon 4 of USH1C: This variant is not expected to have clinical signi ficance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located near a s plice junction and has a frequency of 2.2% (151/6811) of chromosomes from a broa d population (dbSNP rs34055234). -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Oct 09, 2017	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Usher syndrome type 1C Benign:2

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -
