Genes affected

USH1C (HGNC:12597): (USH1 protein network component harmonin) This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the assembly of Usher protein complexes. The protein contains PDZ domains, a coiled-coil region with a bipartite nuclear localization signal and a PEST degradation sequence. Defects in this gene are the cause of Usher syndrome type 1C and non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 18. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Variant summary: USH1C c.1291C>T (p.Arg431Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 250982 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in USH1C causing Usher Syndrome (5.6e-05 vs 0.0029), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1291C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with hearing loss and/or retinal degeneration without strong evidence of causality (Miyagawa_2013, Rodriguez-Muoz_2020, Bahena_2022). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Usher Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23967202, 32036094, 34148116). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Arg731Trp varia nt in USH1C has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified by our laboratory. Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, cons ervation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) do not provide strong support for or a gainst an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of this v ariant cannot be determined with certainty. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 431 of the USH1C protein (p.Arg431Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs397517874, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 23967202). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 47993). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
