Post-lingual non-syndromic hearing loss phenotype: a polygenic case with 2 biallelic mutations in MYO15A and MITF.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Hearing loss (HL) represents the most common congenital sensory impairment with an incidence of 1-5 per 1000 live births. Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is an isolated finding that is not part of any other disorder accounting for 70% of all genetic hearing loss cases. METHODS:In the current study, we reported a polygenic mode of inheritance in an NSHL consanguineous family using exome sequencing technology and we evaluated the possible effect of the detected single nucleotide variants (SNVs) using in silico methods. RESULTS:Two bi-allelic SNVs were detected in the affected patients; a MYO15A (. p.V485A) variant, and a novel MITF (p.P338L) variant. Along with these homozygous mutations, we detected two heterozygous variants in well described hearing loss genes (MYO7A and MYH14). The novel MITF p. Pro338Leu missense mutation was predicted to change the protein structure and function. CONCLUSION:A novel MITF mutation along with a previously described MYO15A mutation segregate with an autosomal recessive non-syndromic HL case with a post-lingual onset. The findings highlight the importance of carrying whole exome sequencing for a comprehensive assessment of HL genetic heterogeneity.

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.
