Genes affected

MITF (HGNC:7105): (melanocyte inducing transcription factor) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural features. The encoded protein regulates melanocyte development and is responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

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 3-69941273-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-69941273-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 228364.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Ser235X variant in MITF has not been previously reported in individuals wi th hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense vari ant leads to a premature termination codon at position 235, which is predicted t o lead to a truncated or absent protein. Haploinsufficiency due to heterozygous loss of function variants in the MITF gene is an established disease mechanism in Waardenburg syndrome type 2 (WS2). In summary, this variant meets our criteri a to be classified as pathogenic for Waardenburg syndrome in an autosomal domina nt manner (http://www.partners.org/personalizedmedicine/LMM) based upon its pred icted impact to the protein. -
