Genetic Testing For HEARING AND VISION LOSS
Hearing and/or vision loss can result from both genetic and non-genetic etiologies. In general, up to 50% of prelingual
hearing loss has a genetic basis, as does up to 60% of congenital blindness among infants. Next generation sequencing
(NGS) technology is ideal for diagnostic testing of these disorders due to the extreme locus heterogeneity and phenotypic
overlap of the genes involved. Our customizable targeted NGS panel uses Agilent SureSelectTM XT target enrichment and
Illumina HiSeq sequencing to detect pathogenic variants in genes involved in hearing and or vision loss. These genes were
selected for inclusion based on literature review, clinical actionablity scores, and comparison with commercially available
assays. The Hearing and Vision Loss Panel (308 genes) includes the Comprehensive Hearing Loss (92) and
Comprehensive Vision Loss (250) panels. Hearing loss subpanels include Usher Syndrome (11 genes), Zellweger
Spectrum Disorder (9), and Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome (3). Vision loss subpanels include Retinal Disease (154 genes),
Albinism, Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, and Waardenburg Syndrome (18), Developmental Eye Disorders (21), and Stickler
Disease and Cataracts (41). Customizable testing is available for ordering a hearing-specific or vision-specific gene panel.
Targeted familial testing is also available. Genetic testing may clarify the cause of an individual’s deafness and/or vision
loss, provide information on the likelihood of related health issues, and also establish risk to other family members and
future generations.
Genetics
The disorders included in this panel may be inherited in an autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (AR), or X-linked
manner (XL). For genes displaying an AD mode of inheritance, an affected parent carrying the mutated gene has a 50%
chance of passing the variant on to an offspring, regardless of gender. Some of these genes are not fully penetrant,
meaning that an individual may have a mutated gene but not display any of the signs/symptoms of the disorder.
Additionally, these disorders may have variable expressivity indicating that individuals carrying the same pathogenic variant
may display differing features and/or differing severity. For diseases with AR inheritance, the risk for a couple who are both
carriers to have a child affected with the disease is 25% for each pregnancy. The parents of an affected child are most often
obligate carriers (heterozygotes) and each carry one mutant allele (unless a de novo mutation occurs). An X-linked
inheritance means that the risk of a male offspring with the disorder will be 50% if the mother carries an XL mutation.
Depending on the X-inactivation pattern of the gene, a mother and her daughters may rarely be affected. Although X-linked
diseases are normally transmitted from mother to son, transmission of an X-linked mutation will occur from an affected
father to each daughter, but will not occur from father to son.
Indications
1. Clinical status: to confirm a clinical diagnosis in an affected patient, in an individual with unknown status (no
screening/evaluation), or in unaffected relatives of an affected patient (all screening/evaluations(s) normal). The
purpose of the test may be diagnostic, carrier testing, familial follow-up on a known family variant, or prenatal testing

for known variant(s).
2. Treatment: to clarify the cause of an individual’s hearing and/or vision loss, provide information on the likelihood of
related health issues, and guide treatment.
3. Family risk: to establish risk to other family members and future generations.
For patients with a suspected syndrome or disorder, please consider individual gene sequencing or syndromic
subpanels prior to ordering the full panel.
Testing Methods, Sensitivity, and Limitations
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Agilent SureSelectTM XT technology uses a custom capture library to target the exonic regions of the genes listed below.
These targeted regions are sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq2500 system with 100 bp paired-end reads. The DNA
sequences are mapped to and analyzed in comparison with the published human genome build UCSC hg19 reference
sequence. The targeted coding exons and splice junctions of the known protein-coding RefSeq genes are assessed for the
average depth of coverage and data quality threshold values. In our validation, average coverage was greater than 500X
per sample with 99% of regions covered at greater than 20X. Sanger sequencing, as indicated, is performed in both
directions using BigDye Terminator chemistry on the ABI 3730 DNA Analyzer with target specific amplicons as a
confirmatory method for NGS positive results. Sanger sequencing may also be used to supplement targets for which NGS
returned a low depth of coverage (<20 reads) or poor mapping scores. False negative results may occur if rare variants
interfere with amplification or annealing. In addition, SALSA® MLPA® P163-D1 probemix is used to test the copy number of
GJB2 and GJB6 where all testing is approximately 99% accurate. This MLPA test will detect the two most common GJB6
deletions, del(GJB6-D13S18830) and del(GJB6-D13S1854). SALSA® MLPA® P461-A1 probemix is used to test the copy
number of OTOA and STRC where all testing is approximately 99% accurate.
The sensitivity of this NGS panel is estimated at 99% for single base substitutions. This NGS technology may not detect all
small insertions/deletions and is not diagnostic for large duplications/deletions, repeat expansions, and structural genomic
variation. Therefore, oligonucleotide array CGH is available for this test for deletion duplication analysis (please see details
below). Variant interpretation and classification was performed based on the American College of Medical Genetics
Standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants (Richards et al, 2015). Frequency in control populations
were evaluated based on the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC; http://exac.broadinstitute.org/) and Genome
Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). All potentially pathogenic variants may have been confirmed by
either a specific genotyping assay or Sanger sequencing as indicated. Variants classified as likely benign in the proband
and any further familial testing of such variants will only be confirmed by Sanger sequencing if indicated. Any benign
polymorphisms identified during this analysis were not reported. Variant interpretations, based on current knowledge, may
change over time as more information arises.

Sanger Sequencing
Sanger sequencing, as indicated, was performed in both directions using BigDye Terminator chemistry with the ABI 3730
DNA analyzer with target specific amplicons. It also may be used to supplement specific guaranteed target regions that fail
NGS sequencing due to poor quality or low depth of coverage <20 reads or as a confirmatory method for NGS positive
results. False negative results may occur if rare variants interfere with amplification or annealing.
Oligonucleotide array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (Optional Add-on)
The customized oligonucleotide microarray is a highly-targeted exon-focused array capable of detecting medically relevant
microdeletions and microduplications at a much higher resolution than traditional aCGH methods. Each array matrix has
approximately one hundred and eighty thousand 60-mer oligonucleotide probes that cover the entire gene panel. This
platform is designed based on human genome NCBI Build 37 (hg19) and the CGH probes are selected to target the exonic
regions of 304 genes. This test does not include analysis of MT-RNR1, P2RX2, STRC, and RAB28. For the majority of
genes there are a minimum of 4 probes per exon. For very large exons, probes are distributed evenly along the exon with 1
probe every 125 bp. In the untargeted backbone regions, this array has one probe every 42kb. All genomic coordinates are
reported using human genome NCBI Build 37 (hg19). Copy number aberrations are identified using the Aberration
Detection Method-2 (ADM2) algorithm with a sensitivity threshold of 6.0 (Agilent Technologies). The log2 ratio threshold
values to detect aberrations are < -0.25 for copy number losses and > 0.25 for copy number gains. Please note that any
inconsistencies in the reported biological familial relationships could significantly change the interpretation of these results.
For reported CNVs with uncertain clinical significance, continued surveillance of the medical literature for new information is
recommended.
The sensitivity of this assay is estimated to be greater than 99% for microdeletions and microduplications in the exonic
regions of 304 medically-relevant genes. Variant interpretation and classification is performed based on the American
College of Medical Genetics standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants (Richards et al, 2015).
Frequency in control populations is evaluated based on the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC;
http://exac.broadinstitute.org/), the Database of Genomic Variants (http://dgv.tcag.ca/dgv/app/home), and 1000 genomes
(http://www.1000genomes.org/) databases. Any benign polymorphisms identified during this analysis will not be reported.
Variant interpretations, based on current knowledge, may change over time as more information arises.
The following aberrations will NOT be reported and parental studies will NOT be performed:
• CNVs that are considered benign based on coverage in the Database of Genomic Variants (DGV;
<http://dgv.tcag.ca/>) and/or our internal laboratory CNV database
• Gains or losses of <500 kb that do not include any known genes (<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/>)
• Gains or losses with no known clinical significance (based on gene content and/or coverage in the DGV)
• Copy number variation of MT-RNR1, P2RX2, STRC, or RAB28

• Copy number gains and losses associated with genetic susceptibility, quantitative trait loci, pharmacogenetic
alleles, and cancer predisposition
• Copy number gains and losses that are < 1.0 Mb in size and that appear to be mosaic by aCGH due to atypical log2
ratios, unless the affected region is determined to be clinically significant based on gene content and/or coverage in the
DGV
Test limitations
The NGS technology may not detect all small insertions/deletions and is not diagnostic for large duplications/deletions,
repeat expansions, and structural genomic variation. This test will only detect variants within the exons and the intron-exon
boundaries of the target genes as listed in the report table. Variants outside these regions will not be detected. These
regions include, but are not limited to, UTRs, promoters, and deep intronic areas. In addition, a mutation(s) in a gene not
included on the panel could be present in this patient. A large segmental duplication in the OTOA gene (hg19,
chr16:21740425-21808829) of exons 19 to 27 (NM_144672) was excluded due to 99% homology to another proximal
genomic region on chromosome 16. A complex repeat region in the TRIOBP gene was also excluded from this test as it
was problematic for both targeted capture based NGS and Sanger sequencing (hg19, chr22: 38118937-38122716). NGS of
the MT-RNR1 gene is limited to targeted variant analysis of variants chrM:1494C>T and chrM:1555A>G.
The aCGH technology cannot detect balanced rearrangements, such as reciprocal translocations, Robertsonian
translocations, inversions and balanced insertions, or imbalances that are below the resolution of this array. This
technology will also not detect point mutations or small insertion/deletions below this array’s resolution that cause
frameshifts, imprinting defects or other epigenetic mutations, and may not detect low level mosaicism. The failure to detect
an alteration at any locus does not exclude the diagnosis of any of the disorders represented on the microarray.
Turnaround Time
Results are reported to the referring physician within 7-10 business days (for prenatal samples) and 3-4 weeks (for
postnatal samples) from the receipt of the specimen. Please note only targeted analysis is performed for prenatal cases,
where the familial gene and mutation(s) are known.

RETINAL DISEASE SUBPANEL
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited disorders in which abnormalities of the photoreceptors (rods and cones) or
the retinal pigment epithelium of the retina lead to progressive visual loss. Affected individuals first experience defective
dark adaptation or "night blindness", followed by constriction of peripheral visual fields. Many patients with retinitis
pigmentosa (RP) retain a small degree of central vision throughout their life, but eventually, loss of central vision may occur
late in the course of the disease. RP can be isolated (non-syndromic) or syndromic (part of a disease affecting multiple
tissues and organs).
Main syndromic causes of RP are the ciliopathies, diseases caused by dysfunctional cilia. These diseases include Leber
congenital amaurosis (LCA), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), Joubert syndrome (JS), and Senior-Loken syndrome (SLS).
Leber congenital amaurosis manifests with vision loss at birth or in early infancy. Patients have profound loss of vision at an
early age, and some have been reported to have intellectual disability. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is characterized by obesity,
intellectual disability, kidney disease, and loss of vision beginning with loss of night vision and progression to tunnel vision
and blindness. Clinical features of Joubert syndrome include intellectual disability, brain malformations, ocular problems
including uncontrollable eye movements and loss of vision, and kidney cysts leading to end-stage renal disease. Senior-
Loken syndrome is characterized by LCA and renal cysts and dysfunction, leading to end-stage renal disease.
The Retinal Disease Panel includes the following 154 genes.

ALBINISM, HERMANSKY-PUDLAK SYNDROME, AND WAARDENBURG SYNDROME SUBPANEL
Albinism refers to a set of disorders in which pigmentation of the skin, hair, and/or eyes are lighter than expected due to
deficiencies of the pigment melanin. These diseases include oculocutanous albinism, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and
Waardenburg syndrome.
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by the presence of lighter-colored
skin and hair than unaffected family members, as well as reduced vision. Patients also have a susceptibility to prolonged
bleeding caused by abnormalities in the platelets, which normally function in the clotting process. A subset of patients may
develop Crohn’s disease.
Oculocutanous albinism (OCA) is a group of disorders that affect pigmentation of the eyes, skin, and hair. Distinctive ocular
changes include nystagmus, reduced iris pigment with iris translucency, reduced retinal pigmentation, and foveal hypoplasia
with reduction in visual acuity. OCA is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Additionally, an X-linked form of ocular
albinism leading to minor cutaneous manifestations in affected males also exists.
Waardenburg syndrome is an autosomal dominant auditory-pigmentary disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness,
pigmentary disturbances of the hair, skin and eyes, and absence of dystopia canthorum which is the lateral displacement of
the inner canthus of each eye. Individuals with WS2E may have neurologic abnormalities, including mental impairment,
myelination defects, and ataxia.
The Albinism, Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome and Waardenburg Syndrome Panel contains the following 18 genes.

(ANOPHTHALMIA/MICROPHTHALMIA/ANIRIDIA)
Developmental ocular malformations are structural defects of the eye that are recognizable at birth and result from
abnormalities in the normal development process, including anopthalmia (absence of the eye), microphtalmia (very small
eye remnant), coloboma (failure of the optic fissure to close), aniridia (absent or partial iris), and optic nerve hypoplasia
(underdeveloped optic nerve).

STICKLER & CATARACT SUBPANEL
Stickler syndrome is an inherited disorder that associates ocular signs with more or less complete forms of Pierre Robin
sequence, bone disorders and sensorineural deafness. Ocular disorders may include juvenile cataract, myopia, strabismus,
vitreoretinal or chorioretinal degeneration, retinal detachment, and chronic uveitis. Robin sequence includes an opening in
the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate), a large tongue (macroglossia), and a small lower jaw (micrognathia). Bones are
affected by slight platyspondylisis and large, often defective epiphyses. Juvenile joint laxity is followed by early signs of
arthrosis. The degree of hearing loss varies among affected individuals and may become more severe over time.
Cataracts are partial or complete opacity in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes that impair vision or cause blindness.
While most cataracts are age or injury-related, they may also be genetic and congenital or part of multi-systemic disorders.
The Stickler and Cataract Panel contains the following 41 genes.

THE COMPREHENSIVE HEARING LOSS PANEL
Hearing loss can result from both genetic and non-genetic etiologies. In general, up to 50% of prelingual hearing loss has a
genetic basis. Approximately 30% genetic-related cases are caused by syndromic deafness which are associated with other
anomalies, such as Pendred (enlarged vesitibular aqueduct), Waardenburg (pigmentary anomalies), branchio-oto-renal
(brancial-arch and renal anomalies) syndrome which are representative of the common forms of syndromic hearing loss
(Alford et al. 2014). The remaining 70% of genetic-related deafness is due to non-syndromic, isolated forms of deafness.
Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a mild to profound hearing impairment that occurs in infancy or early childhood, most
often prelingually. NSHL may result from genetic or non-genetic causes. While extremely heterogeneous, the majority (70-
80%) of genetic-related NSHL cases are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, approximately 20% is inherited in an
autosomal dominant manner, and the remainder is composed of X-linked and mitochondrial forms (Toriello et al, 2013).
The Comprehensive Hearing Loss Panel includes 92 genes that encompass well-established nonsyndromic hearing loss
genes along with genes associated with syndromic hearing loss that includes Pendred and Waardenburg syndrome.Three
additional subpanels for other syndromic forms of hereditary deafness include: Usher syndrome (11 genes), Branchio-Oto-
Renal syndrome (3 genes) and Zellweger syndrome (9 genes), panels.
The below genes are found on the Comprehensive Hearing Loss Panel and are not on any subpanels.

USHER SYNDROME SUBPANEL
Usher syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by the association of retinitis pigmentosa with
sensorineural deafness. Age at onset and differences in auditory and vestibular function distinguish Usher syndrome type 1
(USH1), Usher syndrome type 2 (USH2) and Usher syndrome type 3 (USH3). USH1 has an age of onset in childhood,
whereas USH3 often begins in adolescence.

ZELLWEGER SYNDROME SUBPANEL
Zellweger syndrome spectrum is a group of peroxisomal disorders arising from a failure of protein import into the
peroxisomal membrane or matrix. These peroxisome biogenesis disorders are genetically heterogeneous with at least 14
distinct genetic groups as identified from complementation studies. Peroxisome biogenesis disorders include Zellweger
syndrome (ZWS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), infantile Refsum disease (IRD), and classical rhizomelic
chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). ZWS, NALD and IRD are distinct from RCDP and constitute a clinical continuum of
overlapping phenotypes. While many of these patients present with severe disease in infancy, individuals diagnosed in
childhood may first be identified through loss of hearing or vision.
The Zellweger Syndrome Panel includes the following nine genes.

accurate genotype information for microdeletions and microduplications. Despite this level of accuracy, it should be kept in
mind that there are many potential sources of diagnostic error, including misidentification of samples, rare polymorphisms,
or other rare genetic variants that interfere with analysis. In addition, families should understand the limitations of the testing
and that rare diagnostic errors may occur for the reasons described.
