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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0569 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Gln857X var iant in DFNB31 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or in large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature term ination codon at position 857 which is 51 amino acid residues upstream of the ca nonical termination codon; however, the termination codon occurs within the last exon. Therefore, nonsense mediated decay is not expected to occur and the impac t to normal protein function cannot be predicted with certainty. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty; howe ver based upon the predicted loss of 51 amino acids due to the truncation, we wo uld lean towards a more likely pathogenic role. -
