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 -14 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.52).
BP6
Variant 9-114406545-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr9-114406545-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 45665.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.035 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00509 (775/152252) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.0173 (719/41552). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0163. There are 9 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 357 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 9 AR,Unknown gene
