Any autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CIB2 gene.
Features include: Abnormal vestibular function and Profound sensorineural hearing impairment.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Ears | 2 | Abnormal vestibular function, Profound sensorineural hearing impairment |
Age of onset: at birth.
CIB2 encodes calcium and integrin binding family member 2 (187 aa). Calcium- and integrin-binding protein that plays a role in intracellular calcium homeostasis. Acts as an auxiliary subunit of the sensory mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channel in hair cells. Highest expression in Testis (37.0 TPM) and Heart Atrial Appendage (29.8 TPM).
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 48 is associated with mutations in the CIB2 gene on chromosome 15.
The CIB2 protein participates in Mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channel transports cations into the cytosol of stereocilia of cochlear outer hair cell, Mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channel transports cations from the extracellular region into the cytosol of stereocilia of inner hair cell, and Sensory processing of sound by inner hair cells of the cochlea pathways.
CIB2 is classified as a druggable target (Kinase category) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for CIB2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
