Genes affected
STRC (HGNC:16035): (stereocilin) This gene encodes a protein that is associated with the hair bundle of the sensory hair cells in the inner ear. The hair bundle is composed of stiff microvilli called stereocilia and is involved with mechanoreception of sound waves. This gene is part of a tandem duplication on chromosome 15; the second copy is a pseudogene. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

STRC-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMay 13, 2024The STRC c.4195G>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu1399*). This variant was reported in an individual with non-syndromic hearing loss in trans to a full gene deletion, and was confirmed using an assay that is specific to STRC while excluding the pseudogene (Mandelker et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25157971). This variant is reported in 0.0076% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in STRC are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJul 14, 2021The p.Glu1399X variant has been seen in 2 individuals with hearing loss by our laboratory who harbored the p.Glu1399X variant in trans with a deletion of the STRC gene (Mandelker 2014, LMM data). This variant has also been identified in 0.008% (7/92048) European and 0.016% (1/6098) Other chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dnSNP rs371513959). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1399, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the STRC gene is an established mechanism in autosomal recessive hearing loss. In summary, the p.Glu1399X variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_Strong, PM2_Supporting. -
