Genes affected

PCDH15 (HGNC:14674): (protocadherin related 15) This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily. Family members encode integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. It plays an essential role in maintenance of normal retinal and cochlear function. Mutations in this gene result in hearing loss and Usher Syndrome Type IF (USH1F). Extensive alternative splicing resulting in multiple isoforms has been observed in the mouse ortholog. Similar alternatively spliced transcripts are inferred to occur in human, and additional variants are likely to occur. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.6, offset of 20, new splice context is: cacggggattctaaccttAGgga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 10-54079426-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-54079426-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 46449.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 16 of the PCDH15 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PCDH15 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11398101, 11487575, 14570705). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PCDH15-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46449). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The 1998-2A>G variant (PCDH15) has not been reported in the literature nor previ ously identified by our laboratory. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered spl icing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
