Description
The p.Glu1700Gln variant in OTOF has been reported in >15 compound heterozygous or homozygous individuals with auditory neuropathy and/or hearing loss and segregated with disease in at least 3 affected individuals from 2 families. However some of these individuals had pathogenic variants in other genes which explained their phenotype (Chiu 2010 PMID: 20224275, Lee 2014 PMID: 25326637, Chen 2018 PMID: 30368385, Wu 2018 PMID: 28766844, Qiu 2019 PMID: 31827501, Guan 2021 PMID: 34416374, Zhu 2021 PMID: 34692690, Liu 2022 PMID: 35106950, LMM data). It has also been identified in 0.33% (152/44874) of East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD including 1 homozygote (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.4.0.0). This variant was classified as Uncertain Significance on Jun 23, 2021 by the ClinGen-approved Hearing Loss Variant Curation expert panel (Variation ID 48253). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to conflicting information. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1, PM3_Strong, PP1_Strong, PP3.
