First confirmatory study on PTPRQ as an autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss gene.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Biallelic PTPRQ pathogenic variants have been previously reported as causative for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss. In 2018 the first heterozygous PTPRQ variant has been implicated in the development of autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL) in a German family. The study presented the only, so far known, PTPRQ pathogenic variant (c.6881G>A) in ADNSHL. It is located in the last PTPRQ coding exon and introduces a premature stop codon (p.Trp2294*). METHODS:A five-generation Polish family with ADNSHL was recruited for the study (n?=?14). Thorough audiological, neurotological and imaging studies were carried out to precisely define the phenotype. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples or buccal swabs of available family members. Clinical exome sequencing was conducted for the proband. Family segregation analysis of the identified variants was performed using Sanger sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphism array on DNA samples from the Polish and the original German family was used for genome-wide linkage analysis. RESULTS:Combining clinical exome sequencing and family segregation analysis, we have identified the same (NM_001145026.2:c.6881G>A, NP_001138498.1:p.Trp2294*) PTPRQ alteration in the Polish ADNSHL family. Using genome-wide linkage analysis, we found that the studied family and the original German family derive from a common ancestor. Deep phenotyping of the affected individuals showed that in contrast to the recessive form, the PTPRQ-related ADNSHL is not associated with vestibular dysfunction. In both families ADNSHL was progressive, affected mainly high frequencies and had a variable age of onset. CONCLUSION:Our data provide the first confirmation of PTPRQ involvement in ADNSHL. The finding strongly reinforces the inclusion of PTPRQ to the small set of genes leading to both autosomal recessive and dominant hearing loss.

Project description:Hearing loss is considered one of the most common sensory neurological defects, with approximately 60% of cases attributed to genetic factors. Human pathogenic variants in the TBC1D24 gene are associated with various clinical phenotypes, including dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss DFNA65, characterized by progressive hearing loss after the development of language. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the causative gene and mutations in a family with hereditary deafness. We recruited a three-generation family with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL) and conducted detailed medical histories and relevant examinations. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to identify genetic variants in the proband, which were then validated using Sanger sequencing. Multiple computational software tools were employed to predict the impact of the variant on the function and structure of the TBC1D24 protein. A series of bioinformatics tools were applied to determine the conservation characteristics of the sequence, establish a three-dimensional structural model, and investigate changes in molecular dynamics. A detailed genotype and phenotype analysis were carried out. The family exhibited autosomal dominant, progressive, postlingual, and nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. A novel heterozygous variant, c.1459C>T (p.His487Tyr), in the TBC1D24 gene was identified and confirmed to be associated with the hearing loss phenotype in this family. Conservation analysis revealed high conservation of the amino acid affected by this variant across different species. The mutant protein showed alterations in thermodynamic stability, elasticity, and conformational dynamics. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated changes in RMSD, RMSF, Rg, and SASA of the mutant structure. We computed the onset age of non-syndromic hearing loss associated with mutations in the TBC1D24 gene and identified variations in the hearing progression time and annual threshold deterioration across different frequencies. The identification of a new variant associated with rare autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss in this family broadens the range of mutations in the TBC1D24 gene. This variant has the potential to influence the interaction between the TLDc domain and TBC domain, thereby affecting the protein's biological function.
