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]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The c.4877-3C>A variant in LOXHD1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. This variant is located in th e 3' splice region. An adenine nucleotide (A) at the -3 position of the 3' splic e site diverges from the consensus sequence at that position, and computational tools suggest a possible impact to splicing. However, this information is not pr edictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some susp icion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncert ain. -
