Function
Key calcium ion sensor involved in the Ca(2+)-triggered synaptic vesicle-plasma membrane fusion and in the control of neurotransmitter release at these output synapses. Interacts in a calcium-dependent manner to the presynaptic SNARE proteins at ribbon synapses of cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) to trigger exocytosis of neurotransmitter. Also essential to synaptic exocytosis in immature outer hair cells (OHCs). May also play a role within the recycling of endosomes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250... (Source: Uniprot)

Haploinsufficiency (HI) Score Details

HI Score:
30
HI Evidence Strength:
Gene Associated with Autosomal Recessive Phenotype (Disclaimer)
HI Disease:
  • autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 9 Monarch
HI Evidence Comments:
Variation in OTOF has been reported in individuals with ARNSHL that is typically prelingual or congenital deafness; furthermore, the overall evidence that OTOF, when altered, causes ARNSHL has been expert reviewed by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Working Group and classified as DEFINITIVE.
