Genes affected

OTOA (HGNC:16378): (otoancorin) The protein encoded by this gene is specifically expressed in the inner ear, and is located at the interface between the apical surface of the inner ear sensory epithelia and their overlying acellular gels. It is prposed that this protein is involved in the attachment of the inner ear acellular gels to the apical surface of the underlying nonsensory cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness type 22 (DFNB22). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

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 16-21697781-CTGCTT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-21697781-CTGCTT-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 228383.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Ser249fs variant in OTOA has not been previously reported in individuals w ith hearing loss. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 249 and leads to a prema ture termination codon 21 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predic ted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the OTOA gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive sensorineural hearing loss. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogeni c for hearing loss in an autosomal recessive manner (www.partners.org/personaliz edmedicine/lmm), based on the predicted impact of the variant. -
