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.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180026). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WHRN-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs534523640, gnomAD 0.04%). This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 687 of the WHRN protein (p.Pro687Leu). -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Pro687Leu variant in DFNB31 has not been previously reported in individual s with hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that the p.Pro687Leu variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Pro687Leu variant is uncertain. -
