Genes affected
GSDME (HGNC:2810): (gasdermin E) Hearing impairment is a heterogeneous condition with over 40 loci described. The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in fetal cochlea, however, its function is not known. Nonsyndromic hearing impairment is associated with a mutation in this gene. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 30, 2016Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Asp229fs vari ant in DFNA5 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 11/35510 of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregat ion Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP rs777408599). Thi s variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino a cid sequence beginning at position 229 and leads to a premature termination codo n 23 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a trun cated or absent protein. However, only variants resulting in altered splicing an d skipping of exon 8 have been reported to be causative for hearing loss through a gain of function mechanism of disease (Van Laer 2004). The p.Asp229fs variant is located in exon 5 of DFNA5 and is expected to result in loss of function (Lo F), which is not a known mechanism of hearing loss in this gene. In fact, a fram eshift variant in DFNA5 has been reported in members of an Iranian family, in wh ich the variant did not segregate with the hearing loss (Van Laer 2007). In summ ary, while the clinical significance of the p.Asp229fs variant is uncertain, its frequency in the general population and the lack of evidence supporting a LoF m echanism for hearing loss in DFNA5 suggests it is more likely to be benign. -
