Genes affected
USH1C (HGNC:12597): (USH1 protein network component harmonin) This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the assembly of Usher protein complexes. The protein contains PDZ domains, a coiled-coil region with a bipartite nuclear localization signal and a PEST degradation sequence. Defects in this gene are the cause of Usher syndrome type 1C and non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 18. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.01962963 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8.4, offset of 10, new splice context is: ttctctctatttcaccccAGagc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 29, 2024This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 16 of the USH1C gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in USH1C are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10973247, 17407589, 20301442, 21203349). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Usher syndrome (PMID: 21487335). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.2227-1G>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551392). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
