Genes affected

SYNE4 (HGNC:26703): (spectrin repeat containing nuclear envelope family member 4) This gene is a member of the nesprin family of genes, that encode KASH (Klarsicht, Anc-1, Syne Homology) domain-containing proteins. In addition to the KASH domain, this protein also contains a coiled-coil and leucine zipper region, a spectrin repeat, and a kinesin-1 binding region. This protein localizes to the outer nuclear membrane, and is part of the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex in the nuclear envelope. LINC complexes are formed by SUN (Sad1, UNC-84)-KASH pairs, and are thought to mechanically couple nuclear components to the cytoskeleton. Mutations in this gene have been associated with progressive high-frequency hearing loss. The absence of this protein in mice also caused hearing loss, and changes in hair cell morphology in the ears. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp77Valfs*16) in the SYNE4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SYNE4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23348741, 28958982). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hearing loss (PMID: 23348741). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 88870). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
