RCV000035034 | SCV000058674 | benign | not specified | 2012-04-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | m.1119T>C in MTRNR1: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it has never been associated to hearing loss even though extensive study of this gene in hearing loss cases throughout the world and has been identified with similar frequencies among HL patients and controls (~1 - 5%) (Bae 2008, M utai 2011,Konings 2008, Lu 2010, Shen 2011). Also, this variant is common polymo rphism in phylogeny studies and belongs to one of the mitochondrial haplogroup s pecific variant (Kong 2006, Shen 2011). In addition, this variant is reported co mmonly in other general populations (LOVD database http://www.lovd.nl/2.0; mtDB http://www.mtdb.igp.uu.se; HmtDB http://www.hmtdb.uniba.it:8080/hmdb). Moreover, this region of mitochondrial DNA is not evolutionarily conserved (Lu 2010). |
