Genes affected
POU4F3 (HGNC:9220): (POU class 4 homeobox 3) This gene encodes a member of the POU-domain family of transcription factors. POU-domain proteins have been observed to play important roles in control of cell identity in several systems. This protein is found in the retina and may play a role in determining or maintaining the identities of a small subset of visual system neurons. Defects in this gene are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 15. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

not specified Benign:2
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMay 07, 2012Thr279Thr in Exon 02 of POU4F3: This variant is not expected to have clinical s ignificance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located with in the splice consensus sequence, and has been identified in 6.5% (243/3738) of African American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequenci ng Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; dbSNP rs6885298). -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 18, 2017This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
POU4F3-related disorder Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMar 09, 2019This variant is classified as benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications). -
Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 15 Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
