Monogenic hearing loss
Gene: HOMER2
Comment on list classification: Promoting from grey to amber. Two families with monoallelic variants, and a mouse with biallelic variants and deafness. Heterozygous mice did not show hearing loss so promoting to amber not green just now.

Provisional association with ?Deafness, autosomal dominant 68 #616707 (AD) in OMIM.
2 families reported:
PMID: 25816005 - Azaiez et al 2015 - one family with post-lingual progressive autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss and a missense variant p.Arg185Pro in HOMER2
PMID: 30047143 - Lue et al 2018 - Chinese family with autosomal dominant, non-syndromic hearing loss and a pathogenic variant c.840_841insC in HOMER2 that leads to a premature stop codon).
Azaiez et al 2015 also report mouse mutants homozygous for the targeted deletion of Homer2 present with early-onset rapidly progressive hearing loss. Age-matched WT and Homer2 +/- animals showed no differences in electrophysiological hearing tests.Created: 28 Jan 2020, 2:12 p.m. | Last Modified: 28 Jan 2020, 2:18 p.m.
