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

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The X908fs variant in DFNB31 has not been previously reported in individuals wit h hearing loss or in large population studies. This nonstop extension variant a lters the normal stop codon at position 908, leading to the addition of 77 amino acids. However, what effect this extension would have on the protein is unknow n. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

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. This sequence change disrupts the translational stop signal of the WHRN mRNA. It is expected to extend the length of the WHRN protein by 76 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WHRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179975). -
