Genes affected
TECTA (HGNC:11720): (tectorin alpha) The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia, and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. Alpha-tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the tectorial membrane. Mutations in the TECTA gene have been shown to be responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment and a recessive form of sensorineural pre-lingual non-syndromic deafness.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 20 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.8, offset of 20, new splice context is: acttgcccacacaattccAGgat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PP3
Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 15, 2022This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 20 of the TECTA 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 TECTA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11087000, 12746400, 17431902, 24130743). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TECTA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228295). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 04, 2015The c.6163-2A>T variant in TECTA has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. This variant oc curs in the invariant region (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is p redicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Var iants in TECTA have been associated with both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss, with recessive variants primarily loss of fu nction and dominant typically missense variants. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss based on its predicted impact to splicing. -
