Clinical genetics 2023 JunHereditary deafness and retinal dystrophy are each genetically heterogenous and clinically variable. Three small unrelated families segregating the combination of deafness and retinal dystrophy were studied by exome sequencing (ES). The proband of Family 1 was found to be compound heterozygous for NM_004525.3: LRP2: c.5005A > G, p.(Asn1669Asp) and c.149C > G, p.(Thr50Ser). In Family 2, two sisters were found to be compound heterozygous for LRP2 variants, p.(Tyr3933Cys) and an experimentally confirmed c.7715 + 3A > T consensus splice-altering variant. In Family 3, the proband is compound heterozygous for a consensus donor splice site variant LRP2: c.8452_8452 + 1del and p.(Cys3150Tyr). In mouse cochlea, Lrp2 is expressed abundantly in the stria vascularis marginal cells demonstrated by smFISH, single-cell and single-nucleus RNAseq, suggesting that a deficiency of LRP2 may compromise the endocochlear potential, which is required for hearing. LRP2 variants have been associated with Donnai-Barrow syndrome and other multisystem pleiotropic phenotypes different from the phenotypes of the four cases reported herein. Our data expand the phenotypic spectrum associated with pathogenic variants in LRP2 warranting their consideration in individuals with a combination of hereditary hearing loss and retinal dystrophy. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
