Abstract
In the world the role of pathogenic variants of the MYO15A gene in the etiology of hearing loss has not been sufficiently studied, since the large size of the gene (66 exons, 71 kb) suggests the search for pathogenic variants using NGS technologies, which are not yet sufficiently used in routine practice. In this regard, it is relevant to study the role of pathogenic variants of the MYO15A gene in the etiology of non-syndromic forms of hearing impairments. The purpose of this work is to describe the rare pathogenic variant c.7636C>T p.(Gln2546*) in the MYO15A gene, found in a homozygous state in two siblings with prelingual profound sensorineural hearing loss from a Buryat family. Previously, this variant was found only in one patient in a compound-heterozygous state with another nonsense variant in the MYO15A gene in Brazil and described as pathogenic. Detection of variant c.7636C>T p.(Gln2546*) in a homozygous state in Buryat siblings may indicate either a rare case of endogamous marriage or a wider distribution of this variant in the Lake Baikal region.
