RCV000825583 | SCV000966923 | likely pathogenic | Rare genetic deafness | 2018-12-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Ser153HisfsX44 variant in EYA4 has not been previously reported in individ uals with hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. This varian t is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequ ence beginning at position 153 and leads to a premature termination codon 44 ami no acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the EYA4 gene is an establishe d disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hearing loss. In summary, although add itional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p .Ser153HisfsX44 variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant hearing loss .
