Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 8 Pathogenic:4
- -
The 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). -

not provided Pathogenic:2
Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect caused by the insertion of 4 nucleotides between exons 4 and 5 and leading to a frameshift (PMID: 11137999); In silico analysis supports a deleterious effect on splicing; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11137999, 30622556, 34868270, 21786053, 24416283, 28695016, 32747562, 31589614, 34837038) -
This 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. -
Childhood onset hearing loss Pathogenic:1
PS1, 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. -
Hearing loss, autosomal recessive Pathogenic:1

Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
The 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. -
TMPRSS3-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The TMPRSS3 c.323-6G>A variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant has been reported in both the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in several individuals with hearing loss, and the change segregates with the hearing loss phenotype in families (Ganapathy et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24416283; Gao et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28695016; Morgan et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30622556). RNA functional studies show that this intronic change alters splicing, resulting in an early protein termination (Scott et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11137999, alternate nomenclature IVS4-6G>A, p.Cys107fs). This variant is reported in 0.029% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
