Description
The TECTA p.Thr815Met variant was identified in 1 of 890 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0011) from individuals or families with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (Hildebrand_2011_PMID:21520338). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs111759871), LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by EGL Genetic Diagnostics). The variant was identified in control databases in 71 of 282874 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.000251 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 62 of 24966 chromosomes (freq: 0.002483), Other in 2 of 7228 chromosomes (freq: 0.000277), Latino in 6 of 35440 chromosomes (freq: 0.000169) and South Asian in 1 of 30616 chromosomes (freq: 0.000033), but was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), or European (non-Finnish) populations. The p.Thr815 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
