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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys194Metfs*17) in the TMPRSS3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TMPRSS3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16021470, 26969326). This variant is present in population databases (rs397517376, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (PMID: 26036852, 28566687, 30622556). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517148). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Cys194MetfsX17 variant in TMPRSS3 has been reported in at least 6 individuals with hearing loss who were compound heterozygous for a second TMPRSS3 pathogenic variant (Battelino 2016 PMID 26036852, Lechowicz 2017 PMID 28566687, Lechowicz 2016 PMID 26408194, Morgan 2018 PMID 30622556). It has also been identified in 0.007% (9/113638) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), However, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive allele frequency. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 194 and leads to a premature termination codon 17 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TMPRSS3 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive hearing loss.In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss.
