Mouse Models of Human Pathogenic Variants of <i>TBC1D24</i> Associated with Non-Syndromic Deafness DFNB86 and DFNA65 and Syndromes Involving Deafness

Human pathogenic variants of <i>TBC1D24</i> are associated with clinically heterogeneous phenotypes, including recessive nonsyndromic deafness DFNB86, dominant nonsyndromic deafness DFNA65, seizure accompanied by deafness, a variety of isolated seizure phenotypes and DOORS syndrome, char...

description Human pathogenic variants of <i>TBC1D24</i> are associated with clinically heterogeneous phenotypes, including recessive nonsyndromic deafness DFNB86, dominant nonsyndromic deafness DFNA65, seizure accompanied by deafness, a variety of isolated seizure phenotypes and DOORS syndrome, characterized by deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, intellectual disability and seizures. Thirty-five pathogenic variants of human <i>TBC1D24</i> associated with deafness have been reported. However, functions of TBC1D24 in the inner ear and the pathophysiology of TBC1D24-related deafness are unknown. In this study, a novel splice-site variant of <i>TBC1D24</i> c.965 + 1G > A in compound heterozygosity with c.641G > A p.(Arg214His) was found to be segregating in a Pakistani family. Affected individuals exhibited, either a deafness-seizure syndrome or nonsyndromic deafness. In human temporal bones, TBC1D24 immunolocalized in hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons, whereas in mouse cochlea, <i>Tbc1d24</i> expression was detected only in spiral ganglion neurons. We engineered mouse models of <i>DFNB86</i> p.(Asp70Tyr) and <i>DFNA65</i> p.(Ser178Leu) nonsyndromic deafness and syndromic forms of deafness p.(His336Glnfs*12) that have the same pathogenic variants that were reported for human <i>TBC1D24</i>. Unexpectedly, no auditory dysfunction was detected in <i>Tbc1d24</i> mutant mice, although homozygosity for some of the variants caused seizures or lethality. We provide some insightful supporting data to explain the phenotypic differences resulting from equivalent pathogenic variants of mouse <i>Tbc1d24</i> and human <i>TBC1D24</i>.
