Genes affected
TMPRSS3 (HGNC:11877): (transmembrane serine protease 3) This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the serine protease family. The encoded protein contains a serine protease domain, a transmembrane domain, an LDL receptor-like domain, and a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain. Serine proteases are known to be involved in a variety of biological processes, whose malfunction often leads to human diseases and disorders. This gene was identified by its association with both congenital and childhood onset autosomal recessive deafness. This gene is expressed in fetal cochlea and many other tissues, and is thought to be involved in the development and maintenance of the inner ear or the contents of the perilymph and endolymph. This gene was also identified as a tumor-associated gene that is overexpressed in ovarian tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 8 Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetics and Molecular Pathology, SA PathologyJul 01, 2022The TMPRSS3 c.323-6G>A variant is classified as PATHOGENIC (PVS1, PS4, PM3) The TMPRSS3 c.323-6G>A variant is located in a splice acceptor region. Studies have demonstrated this variant impacts splicing, leading to a frameshift in the open reading frame (PMID:11137999) (PVS1). This variant has been reported in both a homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with deafness, in the literature (PMID:11137999; PMID:30622556; PMID:34868270) (PS4) (PM3). This variant is in dbSNP (rs374793617) but is rare in population databases (gnomAD 4/152118, no homozygotes). This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic for Hearing loss by other diagnostic laboratories (Variation ID: 46113) and as damaging in the HGMD disease database for childhood onset deafness (CS010098). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 20, 2024This sequence change falls in intron 4 of the TMPRSS3 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TMPRSS3 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs374793617, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 11137999). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46113). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 11137999). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 28, 2020Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect caused by the insertion of 4 nucleotides between exons 4 and 5 and leading to a frameshift (Scott et al., 2001); In silico analysis supports a deleterious effect on splicing; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31589614, 32747562, 30622556, 28695016, 11137999, 24416283, 21786053) -
Childhood onset hearing loss Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchNational Institute on Deafness and Communication Disorders, National Institutes of HealthJul 08, 2021PS1, PS3_moderate, PM2, PM3_strong, PP3 / Modifications from PMID: 30311386 for classification: The genetic causes of hearing loss have not yet been well characterized in the Yoruba population, and the information regarding variant MAF in this population is still limited, so we did not exclude any variant based on their "high" MAF. PP3 criteria was applied even if the REVEL score was below 0.7, if at least two of the pathogenicity prediction algorithms used predicted that the variant was damaging or likely damaging. -

Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineOct 17, 2013The 323-6G>A variant in TMPRSS3 has been reported in homozygosity in one individ ual with hearing loss (Scott 2001). It has also been identified by our laborator y in trans with another pathogenic variant in one individual with hearing loss. The variant is located in the 3' splice region and studies have shown that the 323-6G>A variant impacts splicing and leads to a frameshift (Scott 2001). Althou gh this variant has been identified in 0.02% (1/4406) of African American chromo somes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs. gs.washington.edu/EVS) and in 1/160 Muslim Indians controls (Scott 2001), this f requency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In s ummary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
