Genetic Landscape

Assembled from HGNC gene records, ClinGen gene-disease validity evidence, and ClinVar pathogenic variant data. Validity classifications reflect the strength of published evidence linking each gene to this disease.

MINAR2 encodes membrane integral NOTCH2 associated receptor 2 (190 aa). Binds cholesterol and may regulate the distribution and homeostasis of cholesterol in hair cells. May play a role in angiogenesis Highest expression in Cervix Ectocervix (0.4 TPM) and Cervix Endocervix (0.2 TPM).

Hearing loss, autosomal recessive 120 is associated with mutations in the MINAR2 gene on chromosome 5.

MINAR2 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.

Diagnosis

Genetic testing for MINAR2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.

Prognosis

Phenotype severity distribution: 1 always present feature.
