RCV000036171 | SCV000059823 | pathogenic | Rare genetic deafness | 2010-07-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The Glu166fs variant has been identified in a homozygous state in 3 consanguineo us Pakistani families with the clinical features of Usher syndrome type 1 (Riazu ddin 2008). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the pr otein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 166 and leads to a premature stop codon 4 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a trunc ated or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classi fied as pathogenic. |
