Comment on mode of inheritance: Leaving mode of inheritance as Monoallelic only for now, but with recommendation that it should be changed to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal at the next GMS review.Created: 26 Nov 2020, 2:45 p.m. | Last Modified: 26 Nov 2020, 2:45 p.m.

Reports of 7 families with homozygous or compound het variants in COCH. All appear to result in loss of function (the missense and inframe deletion variants affecting splicing) which is different to the GOF/dominant negative mechanism proposed for the monoallelic variants.
PMID: 29449721 - JanssensdeVarebeke et al 2018 - report 2 Belgian/Moroccan brothers with congenital prelingual deafness. They were found to have a homozygous nonsense variant in COCH c.292C>T(p.Arg98*). The heterozygous parents and sibling have normal hearing, apart from the mother. She presents with vestibular hyporeflexia and abnormal smooth pursuit tests. The patients reported here show an earlier onset of hearing impairment and vestibular dysfunction compared to individuals with dominant hearing loss causing COCH variants.
PMID: 31126177 - Mehregan et al 2019 - report an Iranian family with hereditary HL in which a homozygous variant (c.116T>A, p.L39X) in the COCH gene identified through WES.
PMID: 32562050 - Booth et al 2020 - report 4 families (1 Pakistani, 1 European, 1 Middle Eastern, 1 unknown ancestry) with ARSNHL. Four novel pathogenic variants (two nonsense variants, one missense, and one inframe deletion) were identified. Using minigene splicing assays they showed that both the missense and inframe deletion variants altered RNA splicing by creating an exon splicing silencer and abolishing an exon splicing enhancer, respectively. This would then create frameshifts and are predicted to result in a null allele.
PMID: 32939038 - Danial-Farran et al 2020 - report on 3 members of a Christian Arab family from northern Israel who are hearing imparied (high-tone hearing loss, ranging from mild-moderate in low frequencies to severe in high frequencies). All 3 members were diagnosed before the age of 2. A homozygous variant, c.984_985dup in COCH was identified by WES of the initial proband. Although transcripts with the variant were detected, only wild type protein was detected.Created: 26 Nov 2020, 2:39 p.m. | Last Modified: 26 Nov 2020, 2:39 p.m.
