Monogenic hearing loss
Gene: SPTBN4
Comment on list classification: Rating Amber as degree of the deafness phenotype is unclear in 2/4 individuals reported with auditory impairment. Animal model supports association with this presentation but additional congenital/early-onset cases required before inclusion on a diagnostic hearing loss panel (added 'watchlist' tag)Created: 11 Nov 2020, 11:05 a.m. | Last Modified: 11 Nov 2020, 11:05 a.m.
Panel Version: 2.108
At least 11 individuals from 9 unrelated families with biallelic variants in SPTBN4 reported at present. Of these, two unrelated patients presented early-onset deafness (PMID:28540413, 31230720) and two further unrelated individuals displayed abnormal auditory brain stem responses consistent with auditory neuropathy but no further details regarding the deafness phenotype are provided (PMID:29861105). Furthermore, loss of Sptbn4 in mice causes deafness and auditory neuropathy.
