Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000760529 SCV002132568 pathogenic not provided 2024-12-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp233*) in the SYNE4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SYNE4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23348741, 28958982). This variant is present in population databases (rs200484521, gnomAD 0.06%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SYNE4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228294). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV002271467 SCV002556240 pathogenic Nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss 2024-01-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: SYNE4 c.699G>A (p.Trp233X) results in a premature termination codon and is predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00079 in 1607538 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.001 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v4). This frequency is not higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SYNE4 causing Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness, Type 76 (0.001 vs 0.0011), allowing no strong conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.699G>A in individuals affected with Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss And Deafness and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228294). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences RCV003417771 SCV004118330 likely pathogenic SYNE4-related disorder 2024-09-18 no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The SYNE4 c.699G>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Trp233*). At PreventionGenetics, this variant has been observed in the homozygous state or heterozygous state along with a likely pathogenic variant in four individuals undergoing testing for hearing loss from three apparently unrelated families (internal data). This variant has also been reported in the heterozygous state in one individual with a developmental disorder, although conclusive evidence of pathogenicity was not presented (Table S1, Kaplanis et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33057194; Supplementary Data 3, Zhou et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35982159). This variant is reported in 0.064% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. In relation to autosomal recessive hearing loss, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic.
