They concluded that DFN3 is characterized, not by mixed conductive and sensorineural deafness associated with perilymphatic gusher at stapes surgery, but by profound sensorineural deafness with or without a conductive component associated with a unique developmental abnormality of the ear. Their family 1 consisted of a mother and 2 sons of Finnish origin. The proband had mixed hearing loss of 40-50 dB and his brother a loss of 75-95 dB. The first brother was found to have a perilymphatic gusher at the time of stapedectomy. Sequencing of the product of PCR/SSCP revealed a 4-bp deletion at bases 862-866 of their clone, located in the homeodomain of the POU3F4 gene (<a href="#0006">300039.0006</a>). Family 2 was a British family with 3 affected males. All affected males had profound sensorineural deafness diagnosed in infancy with no suggestion of a conductive component. Although 2 were of normal intelligence, 1 had a moderately severe learning difficulty of unknown cause. On high resolution CT scanning of the cochlea performed in 1 of the males, the characteristic deficiency of bone between the basal turn of the cochlea and the internal auditory meatus was found. In studies of 4 generations of a family, the origin of the mutation in a heterozygous grandmother could be identified, the mutation being a C-to-T transition at nucleotide 935 resulting in an alanine to valine substitution in a highly conserved residue of the homeodomain of the predicted protein (<a href="#0007">300039.0007</a>). <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=7581392" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p><p>From observations of DFN3 in association with a complex duplication/paracentric inversion, <a href="#5" class="mim-tip-reference" title="de Kok, Y.

The mosaicism was detected in 2 independently established EBV immortalized B cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). Semiquantitative analysis showed that approximately 50% of the PBLs of this patient carried the mutation. The arg323-to-gly mutation appears to have occurred very early in embryogenesis, before the differentiation of cells involved in hematopoiesis and inner ear development. The mutation was situated in the POU homeodomain and was predicted to disrupt the DNA binding of the POU3F4 protein. All previously described point mutations had been found in the POU domains of POU3F4. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=9298820" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

<p>De Kok et al.

They isolated 1.4 kb of the human POU3F4 cDNA sequence, which contained the complete 1,083-bp protein coding region. The rat and mouse proteins are completely identical, and the human protein contains only 4 conservative amino acid substitutions. </p><p>Douville et al.

<strong>Mapping</strong>

</h4>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Douville et al. (1994) demonstrated that the mouse gene for Brain-4 (Pou3f4), which encodes a transcription factor, maps between the proteolipid protein locus Plp (300401) and the DXMit6 marker near the phosphoglycerate kinase-1 locus (Pgk1; 311800). The chromosomal region between Pgk1 and Plp is evolutionarily conserved between humans and mice, which suggested that the human POU3F4 gene is located in the Xq13-q22 interval. Douville et al. (1994) suggested that both its mapped position and its temporal/spatial expression pattern in early embryogenesis rendered POU3F4 an attractive candidate gene for the DFN3 locus (DFNX2; 304400). </p><p>To confirm and refine the localization of the human gene, de Kok et al. (1995) amplified a murine genomic Pou3f4 gene fragment by PCR and hybridized it to Southern blots containing EcoRI-digested DNA from patients with Xq21 deletions. Hybridization was seen in the male control but not in DFN3 patients who carried variably sized deletions in Xq21. By hybridizing the probes to cosmids from a contig that spanned the DFN3 locus, they localized the POU3F4 gene 20 kb distal to DXS995. </p>

<p>In 4 of 6 patients with X-linked mixed deafness (see DFNX2, 304400), de Kok et al. (1995) demonstrated a point mutation; in a fifth patient, in whom profound sensorineural deafness masked the conductive element of DFN3, a nonsense mutation was found (300039.0001-300039.0005). Unexpectedly, de Kok et al. (1995) found that 3 Xq21 microdeletions and 1 duplication that had been identified previously in patients with DFN3 did not encompass the POU3F4 gene. In all 4 instances, the rearrangement was located proximal and 5-prime to POU3F4, with physical distances varying between 15 and 400 kb. In none of these patients, nor in 2 others with either a perilymphatic gusher during stapes surgery or a temporal bone defect, were point mutations detected in the POU3F4 gene. De Kok et al. (1995) concluded that these cases may be caused by mutations that affect 5-prime noncoding or regulatory sequences. Alternatively, these aberrations may affect the gross chromosomal structure and thus affect expression of POU3F4. A less likely explanation might be the presence of other genes in Xq21.1 that can cause DFN3. </p><p>Bitner-Glindzicz et al. (1995) described specific mutations in the POU3F4 gene in 2 families with X-linked deafness and suggested that the experience further clarifies the phenotype of DFN3. They concluded that DFN3 is characterized, not by mixed conductive and sensorineural deafness associated with perilymphatic gusher at stapes surgery, but by profound sensorineural deafness with or without a conductive component associated with a unique developmental abnormality of the ear. Their family 1 consisted of a mother and 2 sons of Finnish origin. The proband had mixed hearing loss of 40-50 dB and his brother a loss of 75-95 dB. The first brother was found to have a perilymphatic gusher at the time of stapedectomy. Sequencing of the product of PCR/SSCP revealed a 4-bp deletion at bases 862-866 of their clone, located in the homeodomain of the POU3F4 gene (300039.0006). Family 2 was a British family with 3 affected males. All affected males had profound sensorineural deafness diagnosed in infancy with no suggestion of a conductive component. Although 2 were of normal intelligence, 1 had a moderately severe learning difficulty of unknown cause. On high resolution CT scanning of the cochlea performed in 1 of the males, the characteristic deficiency of bone between the basal turn of the cochlea and the internal auditory meatus was found. In studies of 4 generations of a family, the origin of the mutation in a heterozygous grandmother could be identified, the mutation being a C-to-T transition at nucleotide 935 resulting in an alanine to valine substitution in a highly conserved residue of the homeodomain of the predicted protein (300039.0007). </p><p>From observations of DFN3 in association with a complex duplication/paracentric inversion, de Kok et al. (1995) concluded that there is a regulatory element located at least 400 kb upstream of the POU3F4 gene and that this was disconnected from the POU3F4 gene by the inversion. </p><p>The work of de Kok et al. (1995) and of Bitner-Glindzicz et al. (1995) indicated that both mixed and pure sensorineural deafness may be caused by mutations in the POU3F4 gene and that they share the same radiologic phenotype as described by Phelps et al. (1991). </p><p>Friedman et al. (1997) found a novel mutation in the POU3F4 gene in 2 of 5 patients with X-linked mixed deafness studied. Although the clinical histories and radiographic abnormalities were characteristic in the other 3 patients, no mutation was identified. </p><p>In 3 unrelated patients with semicircular canal dehiscence and no family history of the disorder or of deafness, Crovetto et al. (2012) excluded mutations in the coding exon of the POU3F4 gene. </p><p>In 6 Korean families with X-linked deafness, Choi et al. (2013) identified 6 pathogenic POU3F4 mutations, including 5 novel mutations (see, e.g., 300039.0010 and 300039.0011). There were 2 missense mutations, 2 truncating mutations, and 2 mutations causing extension of the protein into the 3-prime untranslated region outside of the POU and NLS domains. All mutations resulted in decreased transcriptional activity of POU3F4 in cellular expression studies. The extension mutations were localized to the cytoplasm and underwent proteasomal degradation due to structural alterations. One of the frameshift mutations resulted in low protein levels that could be restored by a proteasome inhibitor, although transcriptional activity could not be restored to biologically meaningful levels. </p>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>DFN3 (DFNX2; 304400), an X chromosome-linked nonsyndromic mixed deafness, is caused by mutations in the BRN4 gene, which encodes a POU transcription factor. Minowa et al. (1999) created Brn4-deficient mice. They had profound deafness. No gross morphologic changes were observed in the conductive ossicles or cochlea, although there was a dramatic reduction in endocochlear potential. Electron microscopy revealed severe ultrastructural alterations in cochlear spiral ligament fibrocytes. These findings suggested that these fibrocytes, which are mesenchymal in origin and for which a role in potassium ion homeostasis has been postulated, may play a critical role in auditory function. </p><p>The phenotype of the mouse mutant 'sex-linked fidget' (slf) is caused by developmental malformations of the inner ear that results in hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction. Pilot mapping experiments suggested that the mouse Brn4 (human homolog, POU3F4) gene cosegregated with the slf locus on the mouse X chromosome. Phippard et al. (2000) identified the nature of the slf mutation: an X chromosomal inversion with 1 breakpoint close to Brn4. This inversion selectively eliminates expression of the Brn4 gene in the developing inner ear but not in the neural tube. Phippard et al. (2000) suggested that the slf mutation is a good mouse model for the most prevalent form of X-linked congenital deafness in man, which is associated with mutations in the human Brn4 ortholog, POU3F4. </p>

<p>In a patient with X-linked mixed deafness (DFNX2; 304400), de Kok et al. (1997) found somatic mosaicism for an arg323-to-gly amino acid substitution in the POU3F4 gene. The mosaicism was detected in 2 independently established EBV immortalized B cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). Semiquantitative analysis showed that approximately 50% of the PBLs of this patient carried the mutation. The arg323-to-gly mutation appears to have occurred very early in embryogenesis, before the differentiation of cells involved in hematopoiesis and inner ear development. The mutation was situated in the POU homeodomain and was predicted to disrupt the DNA binding of the POU3F4 protein. All previously described point mutations had been found in the POU domains of POU3F4. </p>

<p>In 2 affected brothers of a Korean family segregating X-linked mixed deafness (DFNX2; 304400), Choi et al. (2013) identified a 1-bp deletion (1069delA) in the POU3F4 gene, resulting in a frameshift and extension of the translated protein into the 3-prime untranslated region (Thr354GlnfsTer115). The mutation was not found in 100 controls or in a large exome sequence database. Transfection of the mutation into HEK293 cells resulted in normal levels of mutant transcript, but decreased levels of protein compared to controls, suggesting that the mutation alters protein stability. The mutant protein also showed abnormal intracellular localization, with most of the protein located in the cytoplasm and not in the nucleus. The mutant protein showed decreased transcriptional activity compared to wildtype. Choi et al. (2013) concluded that this frameshift extension mutation limited accessibility of the mutant protein to the cis-acting regulatory sequences of POU3F4 target genes. </p>

<p>In a Korean proband and his maternal uncle with X-linked deafness (DFNX2; 304400), Choi et al. (2013) identified a 1-bp duplication (950dupT) in the POU3F4 gene, resulting in a frameshift and premature termination (Leu317PhefsTer12) of the C-terminal 44 residues spanning the POU domain and the NLS. The mutation was not found in 100 controls or in a large exome sequence database. Transfection of the mutation into HEK293 cells resulted in normal levels of mutant transcript, but decreased levels of protein compared to controls. The mutant protein localized to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Treatment with a proteasome inhibitor (MG132) resulted in an increase in protein levels and a small increase in transcriptional activity, but not restoration to wildtype levels. </p>
