Gene: S1PR2
ESHG 2026
26 individuals with 6 unrelated consanguineous families with biallelic variants in the S1PR2 gene (4 missense, 1 frameshift, 1 deletion). All variants segregated with disease. The 6 families include 1 previously reported Pakistani family with 7 affected individuals (PMID: 26805784). Individuals had severe-profound sensorineural hearing loss (26/26), hand/digital malformations (9/26), foot/digital malformations (11/26), and tibiofibular hypoplasia/aplasia (9/26).
S1PR2 encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor essential for auditory function. S1PR2 is highly expressed in developing human limb buds. Mice are not a good models for S1PR2 limb anomalies. Zebrafish s1pr2 mutants exhibit developmental limb defects, likely due to disrupted migration of mesenchymal cells.
Note previous reports (26805784;29776397):
15 affected individuals from 3 unrelated consanguineous families (2 x Pakistan, 1 x Iran) with profound prelingual sensorineural hearing loss and homozygous S1PR2 variants (3 missense). S1pr2(-/-) mice showed stria vascularis abnormalities, organ of Corti degeneration, and profound hearing loss. Additionally, hair cell defects were seen in both knockout mice and morphant zebrafish.Created: 18 Aug 2026, 12:16 p.m. | Last Modified: 18 Aug 2026, 12:16 p.m.
