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.

The Arg250Trp variant in OTOF has not been previously reported in individuals wi th hearing loss, but was identified in 0.07% (3/4406) of African American chromo somes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/, dbSNP rs373680242). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses sug gest that the Arg250Trp variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical si gnificance of the Arg250Trp variant is uncertain. -

The c.748C>T (p.R250W) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the OTOF gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 748, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 250 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
