Genes affected

LOXHD1 (HGNC:26521): (lipoxygenase homology PLAT domains 1) This gene encodes a highly conserved protein consisting entirely of PLAT (polycystin/lipoxygenase/alpha-toxin) domains, thought to be involved in targeting proteins to the plasma membrane. Studies in mice show that this gene is expressed in the mechanosensory hair cells in the inner ear, and mutations in this gene lead to auditory defects, indicating that this gene is essential for normal hair cell function. Screening of human families segregating deafness identified a mutation in this gene which causes DFNB77, a progressive form of autosomal-recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

The c.131-11_131-10delinsAA variant in LOXHD1 has not been previously reported i n individuals with hearing loss. Data from large population studies are insuffic ient to assess the frequency of this variant. This variant is located in the 3' splice region. Computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing. However , this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summar y, the clinical significance of the c.131-11_131-10delinsAA variant is uncertain . -

This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the LOXHD1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LOXHD1 protein. Information on the frequency of this variant in the gnomAD database is not available, as this variant may be reported differently in the database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LOXHD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228812). 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 available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
