Genes affected

WHRN (HGNC:16361): (whirlin) This gene is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of sterocilia elongation and actin cystoskeletal assembly, based on studies of the related mouse gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness and Usher Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Val215fs variant in DFNB31 is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 215 and leads to a prematur e stop codon 44 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
