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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 28, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu747*) in the OTOF gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in OTOF are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18381613, 19250381, 22575033). This variant is present in population databases (rs397515591, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with OTOF-related conditions (PMID: 18381613, 27766948). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65787). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The OTOF c.2239G>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu747*). This variant has been reported as causative for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (Rodriguez-Ballesteros et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18381613; Santarelli et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26188103; Dallol et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27766948; described as c.169G>T p.Glu57* in Almontashiri et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29048421). This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in OTOF are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.Glu747X variant in OTOF has been reported in the homozygous state in four individuals with hearing loss, including 1 individual with auditory neuropathy b ased on the presence of otoacoustic emissions (Rodriguez-Ballesteros 2008 and LM M data). This variant has been identified in 1/33574 Latino chromosomes by the G enome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs39 7515591); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessiv e carrier frequency for hearing loss. This nonsense variant leads to a prematur e termination codon at position 747, which is predicted to lead to a truncated o r absent protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pa thogenic for autosomal recessive auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, based on the predicted impact to the protein, reported homozygosity in multiple affected individuals with consistent specific phenotypes, and the low frequency in the g eneral population. -
