RCV000479222 | SCV000571126 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2016-07-25 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1397_1409del13 variant in the OTOF gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Lysine 466, changes this amino acid to an Arginine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 26 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Lys466ArgfsX26. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.1397_1409del13 variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The c.1397_1409del13 variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant; however, the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. |
