Genes affected
STRC (HGNC:16035): (stereocilin) This gene encodes a protein that is associated with the hair bundle of the sensory hair cells in the inner ear. The hair bundle is composed of stiff microvilli called stereocilia and is involved with mechanoreception of sound waves. This gene is part of a tandem duplication on chromosome 15; the second copy is a pseudogene. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

This variant occurred in compound heterozygosity with an STRC full gene deletion in two siblings with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss of onset <18 years, in a study of pediatric hearing loss conducted by the King Laboratory (Carlson RJ et al. JAMA-OtoHNS 2023). The family has no other history of hearing loss. This variant is a nonsense leading to an early stop at position 1073 of 1775 in the stereocilin protein. As of January 2023, this variant has been reported to ClinVar as pathogenic and is found in 1 heterozygote on gnomAD. Based on the prediction that this variant leads to a truncated protein, compound heterozygosity with a loss-of-function variant, co-segregation within the family, and goodness of fit of genotype to phenotype, we conclude that this variant is pathogenic. -

STRC-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Dec 04, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The STRC c.3217C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg1073*). This variant has been reported as pathogenic in patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss (Marková et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29425068; Table S1, Safka Brozkova et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32860223). This variant is reported in 0.0030% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, although due to sequence paralogy the allele frequency estimates at this locus may be unreliable. Nonsense variants in STRC are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
Nov 03, 2016
Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg1073X variant in STRC has been previously reported by our laboratory in 1 individual with hearing loss, who was compound heterozygous for a second path ogenic variant in STRC. Data from large population studies is insufficient to as sess the frequency of this variant. This nonsense variant leads to a premature t ermination codon at position 1073, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as path ogenic for hearing loss in an autosomal recessive manner based on its predicted impact to the protein. -
