Pathogenic variants in COL9A1 are primarily associated with autosomal recessive Stickler syndrome. Patients with COL9A1-associated Stickler syndrome (STL) present hearing loss (HL), ophthalmic manifestations and skeletal abnormalities. However, the clinical spectrum of patients with COL9A1 variants can also include multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, as well as non-syndromic HL that was observed in one previously reported proband. Exome sequencing was performed on the genomic DNA of an Iranian patient and his affected brother who both report non-syndromic HL. A 44.6 kb homozygous in-frame deletion spanning exons 6 to 33 of COL9A1 was detected via exome-based copy number variation analysis. The deleted exons were confirmed by PCR in the patient and his affected brother, who both have non-syndromic HL. Segregation analysis via qPCR confirmed the parents as heterozygous deletion carriers. Breakpoint analysis mapped the homozygous deletion spanning introns 5 to 33 (g.70,948,188_70,997,277del, NM_001851.4(COL9A1):c.697–3754_2112+769del, p.(Phe233_Ser704del), with an additional 67 bp of inserted intronic sequence that may have originated due to a fork stalling and template switching/microhomology-mediated break-induced replication (FoSTeS/MMBIR) mechanism. This mechanism has not been previously implicated in HL or STL. This is also the first reported copy number variation in COL9A1 that was identified through an exome data set in an Iranian family with apparent non-syndromic HL. The present study emphasizes the importance of exome-wide copy number variation analysis in molecular diagnosis and provides supporting evidence to associate COL9A1 with autosomal recessive non-syndromic HL.
