Mutation of COL11A2 causes autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss at the DFNB53 locus.

ABSTRACT: Allele variants of COL11A2, encoding collagen type XI alpha2, cause autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) at the DFNA13 locus (MIM 601868) and various syndromes that include a deafness phenotype.To describe a genome-wide scan carried out on a consanguineous Iranian family segregating ARNSHL.Genotyping data identified a novel locus for ARNSHL on chromosome 6p21.3, which was designated DFNB53. Homozygosity for the P621T mutation of COL11A2 was present in all deaf persons in this family; this same variation was absent in 269 Iranian controls. Sequence comparison of collagen type XI alpha1 and alpha2 peptides across species shows that the replaced proline is an evolutionarily conserved amino acid.The P621T mutation of COL11A2 affects the Y position of the canonical -Gly-X-Y- repeat in collagens. It lies near the amino-terminus of the triple helical region and causes ARNSHL. This finding suggests that mutation type and location are critical determinants in defining the phenotype of COL11A2 associated diseases.

Project description:The frequency of inherited bilateral autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) in Pakistan is 1.6/1000 individuals. More than 50% of the families carry mutations in GJB2 while mutations in MYO15A account for about 5% of recessive deafness. In the present study a cohort of 30 ARNSHL families was initially screened for mutations in GJB2 and MYO15A. Homozygosity mapping was performed by employing whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping in the families that did not carry mutations in GJB2 or MYO15A. Mutation analysis was performed for the known ARNSHL genes present in the homozygous regions to determine the causative mutations. This allowed the identification of a causative mutation in all the 30 families including 9 novel mutations, which were identified in 9 different families (GJB2 (c.598G>A, p.Gly200Arg); MYO15A (c.9948G>A, p.Gln3316Gln; c.3866+1G>A; c.8767C>T, p.Arg2923* and c.8222T>C, p.Phe2741Ser), TMC1 (c.362+18A>G), BSND (c.97G>C, p.Val33Leu), TMPRSS3 (c.726C>G, p.Cys242Trp) and MSRB3 (c.20T>G, p.Leu7Arg)). Furthermore, 12 recurrent mutations were detected in 21 other families. The 21 identified mutations included 10 (48%) missense changes, 4 (19%) nonsense mutations, 3 (14%) intronic mutations, 2 (9%) splice site mutations and 2 (9%) frameshift mutations. GJB2 accounted for 53% of the families, while mutations in MYO15A were the second most frequent (13%) cause of ARNSHL in these 30 families. The identification of novel as well as recurrent mutations in the present study increases the spectrum of mutations in known deafness genes which could lead to the identification of novel founder mutations and population specific mutated deafness genes causative of ARNSHL. These results provide detailed genetic information that has potential diagnostic implication in the establishment of cost-efficient allele-specific analysis of frequently occurring variants in combination with other reported mutations in Pakistani populations.

Project description:BACKGROUND:MYO15A variants are responsible for human non-syndromic autosomal recessive deafness (DFNB3). The majority of MYO15A variants are associated with a congenital severe-to-profound hearing loss phenotype, except for MYO15A variants in exon 2, which cause a milder auditory phenotype, suggesting a genotype-phenotype correlation of MYO15A. However, MYO15A variants not in exon 2 related to a milder phenotype have also been reported, indicating that the genotype-phenotype correlation of MYO15A is complicated. This study aimed to provide more cases of MYO15A variation with diverse phenotypes to analyse this complex correlation. METHODS:Fifteen Chinese autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) individuals with MYO15A variants (8 males and 7 females) from 14 unrelated families, identified by targeted gene capture of 127 known candidate deafness genes, were recruited. Additionally, we conducted a review of the literature to further analyses all reported MYO15A genotype-phenotype relationships worldwide. RESULTS:We identified 16 novel variants and 12 reported pathogenic MYO15A variants in 15 patients, two of which presented with a milder phenotype. Interestingly, one of these cases carried two reported pathogenic variants in exon 2, while the other carried two novel variants not in exon 2. Based on our literature review, MYO15A genotype-phenotype correlation analysis showed that almost all domains were reported to be correlated with a milder phenotype. However, variants in the N-terminal domain were more likely to cause a milder phenotype. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS), we also found that the number of known MYO15A variants with milder phenotypes in Southeast Asia has increased in recent years. CONCLUSION:Our work extended the MYO15A variant spectrum, enriched our knowledge of auditory phenotypes, and tried to explore the genotype-phenotype correlation in different populations in order to investigate the cause of the complex MYO15A genotype-phenotype correlation.
