ZTZi-Xin TianJZJun ZhangZWZi Wang

Key Points

  • Investigate how two benign variants create a pathogenic haplotype in CDH23, leading to DFNB12.
  • Analysis of individual variants in CDH23
  • Identification of novel haplotype formation
  • Evaluation of variant effects on genetic counseling practices
  • Discovery of novel pathogenic haplotype c.3262A-c.6911A
  • Combined variants are not recognized in standard analysis pipelines
  • Findings highlight the need for improved evaluation of linked variants.

Abstract

Two individually benign variants can combine to form a novel pathogenic haplotype (c.3262A-c.6911A). This mechanism may be under-recognized in routine variant interpretation pipelines. Our findings underscore the importance of evaluating the combined effects of linked benign variants to ensure accurate genetic counseling.
