Genes affected
TOMT (HGNC:55527): (transmembrane O-methyltransferase) This gene encodes a catechol-O-methyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to a hydroxyl group of catechols and is essential for auditory and vestibular function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with nonsyndromic deafness. Readthrough transcription is observed across this gene and the adjacent leucine-rich repeat containing 51 gene. A third locus (GeneID:220074) is defined to represent the readthrough transcripts. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2021]
LRTOMT (HGNC:25033): (leucine rich transmembrane and O-methyltransferase domain containing) This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring LRRC51 (leucine-rich repeat containing 51) and TOMT (transmembrane O-methyltransferase) genes on chromosome 11. The readthrough transcript encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. Multiple reports implicate mutations in this gene in nonsyndromic deafness.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2021]
ANAPC15 (HGNC:24531): (anaphase promoting complex subunit 15) Involved in regulation of mitotic cell cycle spindle assembly checkpoint. Part of anaphase-promoting complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the LRTOMT gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LRTOMT protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs545947177, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness (PMID: 17211611, 18953341). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179792). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 5 (also known as exon 8) and introduces a new termination codon (PMID: 18953341). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. This variant disrupts a region of the LRTOMT protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg219*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26166082, 26969326, 35939872). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The 358+4A>C variant in LRTOMT has been reported in a Turkish family with hearin g loss (Ahmed 2008, Kalay 2007), in which affected family members were homozygou s for this variant. In addition, the variant is absent in 176 race matched chrom osomes (Ahmed 2008) and from large population studies. This variant is located i n the 5' splice region and functional studies have shown that the variant result s in exon-skipping and leads to a frameshift and a premature stop codon (Ahmed 2 008). Although these findings suggest that loss of function variants in LRTOMT a re causative for hearing loss, the exact mechanism of disease for LRTOMT related hearing loss has not been established. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likel y pathogenic. -
