Monogenic hearing loss
Gene: STXBP3
Comment on list classification: Sufficient number of cases presenting a relevant phenotype with some functional data. However, given that several families carried potentially contributory variants in other genes, going to maintain an Amber rating at this time in anticipation of further cases/clinical evidence to validate the pathogenicity of this gene.Created: 9 Jun 2021, 11:31 a.m. | Last Modified: 9 Jun 2021, 11:31 a.m.

Ouahed et al. 2021 (PMID: 33891011) report 5 unrelated families with 10 patients who presented with a similar phenotype including medically refractory infantile-onset IBD (10/10), severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (8/10), and, in the majority, recurrent infections (6/10). Heterozygous variants in STXBP3 were identified in 3 families (2 de novo, 1 paternally transmitted); while 5 sibs from 2 unrelated families harboured different compound het variants. Variants interfered with either intron splicing or protein stability and all were shown to reduce STXBP3 protein expression. Knock-down of STXBP3 in CaCo2 cells resulted in defects in cell polarity.
Additional variants not thought to be independently deleterious by the authors, but in pathways of interest or in known VEOIBD genes, were identified in 4/5 families.

Comment on list classification: New gene added by Kelsey Jones (Great Ormond Street Hospital). This gene is not associated with a phenotype in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype. Based on the available evidence this gene has been given an Amber rating.Created: 1 Feb 2021, 1:56 p.m. | Last Modified: 1 Feb 2021, 1:56 p.m.

Described as a monogenic cause of VEOIBD (recognised criteria for the R15 panel) in a report published in abstract form (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1053/j.gastro.2017.11.120). 8 patients from 4 unrelated families with defects in STXBP3 reportedly associated with VEO-IBD, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and impaired cytotoxic T-lymphocyte function (granule release, stimulated CD107a upregulation). Included on a monogenic IBD gene panel proposed by The Paediatric IBD Porto Group of ESPGHAN (PMID: 33346580).
