Due to the high genetic heterogeneity of hearing loss, current clinical testing includes sequencing large numbers of genes, which often yields a significant number of novel variants. Therefore, the standardization of variant interpretation is crucial to provide consistent and accurate diagnoses. The Hearing Loss Variant Curation Expert Panel was created within the Clinical Genome Resource to provide expert guidance for standardized genomic interpretation in the context of hearing loss. As one of its major tasks, our Expert Panel has adapted the ACMG/AMP guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants in hearing loss genes. Here, we provide a comprehensive illustration of the newly specified ACMG/AMP hearing loss rules. Three rules remained unchanged, four rules were removed, and the remaining twenty-one rules were specified. These rules were further validated and refined using a pilot set of 51 variants assessed by curators and expert opinion. Of the 51 variants evaluated in the pilot, 37% (19/51) changed category based upon application of the expert panel specified rules and/or aggregation of evidence across laboratories. These hearing loss-specific ACMG/AMP rules will help standardize variant interpretation, ultimately leading to better care for individuals with hearing loss.

The Hearing Loss Variant Curation Expert Panel was created within the Clinical Genome Resource to provide expert guidance for standardized genomic interpretation in the context of hearing loss.

Three rules remained unchanged, four rules were removed, and the remaining twenty-one rules were specified. Of the specified rules, four had general recommendations, seven were gene/disease considerations, seven had strength-level specifications, and three rules had both gene/disease and strength-level specifications. These rules were further validated and refined using a pilot set of 51 variants assessed by curators.These hearing loss-specific ACMG/AMP rules will help standardize variant interpretation, ultimately leading to better care for individuals with hearing loss.

“…The majority of them introduce a premature termination codon, namely c.937dupC (p.Gln313ProfsTer21) [ 25 ], c.1276C>T (p.Arg426Ter) [ 26 ], or c.1609dupC (p.Arg537ProfsTer11) [ 6 ], or result in the deletion of part of exon 5 [ 27 ]. There is only one splicing variant c.1258-1G>A [ 7 ], located in the cryptic 3′ splice site, and two missense variants c.1334A>G (p.Gln445Arg) and c.1547G>A (p.Arg516Gln) [ 25 ] located in the DNA-binding domain or dimerization domain of the protein. GRHL2 is a transcriptional factor [ 5 ] , so those domains are crucial for its function.…”

“…Nevertheless, a study that functionally evaluates a larger number of GRHL2 gene variants is required. The clinical presentation of GRHL2-related hearing loss is reported to be moderate, progressive, bilateral, and late-onset [6,7,25,26]. In patients with the splice site GRHL2 variant, the onset was in middle to late adulthood [7], while in patients with the truncating variant c.1609dupC (p.Arg537ProfsTer11), it was variable, with the earliest onset at the age of 7 years [6].…”

In contrast to the recessive form, hearing loss inherited in a dominant manner is more often post-lingual and typically results in a progressive sensorineural hearing loss with variable severity and late onset. Variants in the GRHL2 gene are an extremely rare cause of dominantly inherited hearing loss. Genetic testing is a crucial part of the identification of the etiology of hearing loss in individual patients, especially when performed with next-generation sequencing, enabling simultaneous analysis of numerous genes, including those rarely associated with hearing loss. We aimed to evaluate the genetic etiology of hearing loss in a family with moderate late-onset hearing loss using next-generation sequencing and to conduct a review of reported variants in the GRHL2 gene. We identified a novel disease-causing variant in the GRHL2 gene (NM_024915: c.1510C>T; p.Arg504Ter) in both affected members of the family. They both presented with moderate late-onset hearing loss with no additional clinical characteristics. Reviewing known GRHL2 variants associated with hearing loss, we can conclude that they are more likely to be truncating variants, while the associated onset of hearing loss is variable.
