Description
The p.Gly1418Arg variant in MYO15A has been previously reported in three compound heterozygous individuals with congenital profound hearing loss (Park 2014 PMID: 25373420, Zhang 2019 PMID: 30953472, LMM internal data). This variant has been identified in 0.0065% (1/15280) of Latino chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive allele frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PP3.
