Genes affected
MYO15A (HGNC:7594): (myosin XVA) This gene encodes an unconventional myosin. This protein differs from other myosins in that it has a long N-terminal extension preceding the conserved motor domain. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea. Mutations in this gene have been associated with profound, congenital, neurosensory, nonsyndromal deafness. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Read-through transcripts containing an upstream gene and this gene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode a fusion protein. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full length sequences have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The p.Trp1975X variant in MYO15A has been reported in one Iranian individual with nonsyndromic hearing loss and segregated with disease in 6 family members, all of whom were homozygous for the variant (Fattahi 2012). However, this variant has also been identified in 1.7% (138/8086) of South Asian chromosomes including 2 individuals who were homozygous by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs375290498). In addition, this nonsense variant introduces a premature codon at position 1975 in exon 26 of the MYO15A; exon 26 is missing in some alternatively spliced transcripts of MYO15A identified in the inner ear (Liang 1999), raising the possibility that this exon may not be functionally relevant. Although the segregation data reported in the Iranian family above (Fattahi 2012) suggests pathogenicity for this variant, it is not uncommon to detect homozygous variants in families with consanguinity and/or in isolated ethnic groups as is the case with this family, and it is possible that another variant on the same chromosome as this variant is causative for disease in the family. In summary, due to conflicting data, the clinical significance of the p.Trp1975X variant is uncertain.. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BA1. -
