RCV002236505 | SCV002508059 | uncertain significance | Usher syndrome type 3B | 2024-12-30 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 of the HARS gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), however the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in HARS cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs375271566, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HARS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1680340). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
