Associated with Deafness, autosomal dominant 7 #601412 (AD) in OMIM.
As reported by Zornitza Stark, 3 families with monoallelic missense variants and 1 family with biallelic. Mouse model and some functional data showing decreased transcriptional activity as a result of the reported variants.
PMID: 29754270- Wesdorp et al 2018 - report 2 families of Dutch origin with progressive nonsyndromic hearing impairment. Using WES they identified heterozygous variants in LMX1A in both families. In family one, c.721G > C; p.Val241Leu was found in 3 generations. In the second family, c.290G > C;p.Cys97Ser was found in the affected mother and 3 affected children. Age of onset ranged from birth to 35 years.
PMID: 29971487 - Schrauwen et al 2018 - report a consanguineous Pakistani family with severe-to-profound hearing impairment that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. They identified a homozygous missense variant c.1106T>C:p.Ile-369Thr in LMX1A in 2 affected children using exome sequencing. The parents were heterozygous carriers.
PMID: 32840933 - Lee et al 2020 - report a 3 month year old proband with severe-to-profound hearing loss from birth, in which a de novo, heterozygous, missense variant (c.595A > G; p.Arg199Gly) in LMX1A was identified by exome sequencing. Functional studies to measure the transcriptional activity of the 3 heterozygous LMX1A variants showed the greatest reduction with p.Arg199Gly, followed by p.Cys97Ser and p.Val241Leu which are associated with a less severe phenotype. The activity of the p.Ile-369Thr variant (found in the biallelic case) was only slightly reduced.
