Monogenic hearing loss

Gene: KIAA0391

Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: As there are at least four unrelated families reported with sensorineural hearing loss, this gene can be promoted to green rating in the next GMS update.

PMID:34715011 (2021) reported four unrelated families with multisystem disease and identified with biallelic variants (either homozygous or compound heterozygous) in PRORP (KIAA0391) gene. Affected individuals presented with variable phenotypes comprising sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), primary ovarian insufficiency, developmental delay, and brain white matter changes. SNHL was reported in three of the four families. There is also functional evidence available from fibroblasts from affected individuals in two families.

PMID:37558808 (2023) reported three additional unrelated patients with homozygous missense PRORP variants and with pleiotropic phenotypes consistent with the previously reported cases from PMID:34715011. SNHL was reported in one these cases, while another proband did not pass neonatal hearing screening (althoughjt formal hearing test was not performed and patient died at 19 months of age).
