Genes affected

MYO15A (HGNC:7594): (myosin XVA) This gene encodes an unconventional myosin. This protein differs from other myosins in that it has a long N-terminal extension preceding the conserved motor domain. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea. Mutations in this gene have been associated with profound, congenital, neurosensory, nonsyndromal deafness. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Read-through transcripts containing an upstream gene and this gene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode a fusion protein. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full length sequences have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-18122105-A-AG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-18122105-A-AG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 203363.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1105*) in the MYO15A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MYO15A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17546645). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 26969326, 29907799). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203363). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Observed on the same allele (in cis) as another variant in the MYO15A gene in a patient with hearing loss in published literature (Sheppard et al., 2018); this variant in cis has been classified as benign at GeneDx; Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26969326, 29907799) -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: research

The variant (c.3311dupG;p.E1105*) is a frameshift variant at amino acid position 1105 predicted to result in a truncated protein. It has not been reported, but another variant resulting in the same amino acid change, c.3313G>T;p.E1105*, has been reported in a patient with hearing loss (Nal et al. 2007, PMID: 17546645). -
