Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV001449688 SCV001652940 likely pathogenic Rare genetic deafness 2020-09-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Gly1418Arg variant in MYO15A has been previously reported in two individuals with congenital profound hearing loss who were compound heterozygous with a second truncating variant on the remaining allele (Park 2014 PMID: 25373420, Zhang 2019 PMID: 30953472). This variant has been identified in 0.003% (1/30602) of South Asian and in 0.0008% (1/113212) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive allele frequency. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive hearing loss. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_Strong, PM2, PP3.
GeneDx RCV001572126 SCV001796710 likely pathogenic not provided 2022-03-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Observed multiple times with a second MYO15A variant in a patient referred for genetic testing at GeneDx and in published literature, but it is not known whether the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes in some cases (Zhang et al., 2019); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25373420, 30953472)

Invitae RCV001572126 SCV002186122 pathogenic not provided 2023-11-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1418 of the MYO15A protein (p.Gly1418Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs753790346, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive deafness (PMID: 25373420, 30953472; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1120059). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MYO15A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
