Genes affected
OTOF (HGNC:8515): (otoferlin) Mutations in this gene are a cause of neurosensory nonsyndromic recessive deafness, DFNB9. The short form of the encoded protein has 3 C2 domains, a single carboxy-terminal transmembrane domain found also in the C. elegans spermatogenesis factor FER-1 and human dysferlin, while the long form has 6 C2 domains. The homology suggests that this protein may be involved in vesicle membrane fusion. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been found for this gene.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1939 of the OTOF protein (p.Arg1939Trp). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with OTOF-related conditions (PMID: 19250381, 26818607, 34424407, 34536124). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65813). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The tryptophan amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1939 amino acid residue in OTOF. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22575033, 23562982, 34424407, 34536124). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Variant summary: OTOF c.5815C>T (p.Arg1939Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant alters a conserved nucleotide located located within the exonic splice region, however, 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.8e-06 in 228166 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, NM_19248:c.5815C>T (p.Arg1939Trp) has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 9. There are however apparently different variants on other transcript(s), that have been reported as c.5815C>T (p.Arg1939Trp) in individuals with hearing loss (examples: Richard_2019, Iwasa_2021, Thorpe_2021, Choi_2009). In at-least one of these studies, the affected cohorts were ascertained by linkage to the DFNB9 locus (Choi_2009). Due to the underlying ambiguity in the representation of this variant among studies ascertained, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about the association of this specific variant with Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 9. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One submitter has cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
