Abstract EN
Hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss is extremely heterogeneous.
Mutations in the POU class 4 transcription factor 3 (POU4F3) are known to cause autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss linked to the loci of DFNA15.
In this study, we describe a pathogenic missense mutation in POU4F3 in a four-generation Chinese family (6126) with midfrequency, progressive, and postlingual autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL).
By combining targeted capture of 129 known deafness genes, next-generation sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis, we identified POU4F3 c.602T>C (p.Leu201Pro) as the disease-causing variant.
This variant cosegregated with hearing loss in other family members but was not detected in 580 normal controls or the ExAC database and could be classified as a “pathogenic variant” according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines.
We conclude that POU4F3 c.602T>C (p.Leu201Pro) is related to midfrequency hearing loss in this family.
Routine examination of POU4F3 is necessary for the genetic diagnosis of midfrequency hearing loss.
