Genes affected
SLC26A4 (HGNC:8818): (solute carrier family 26 member 4) Mutations in this gene are associated with Pendred syndrome, the most common form of syndromic deafness, an autosomal-recessive disease. It is highly homologous to the SLC26A3 gene; they have similar genomic structures and this gene is located 3' of the SLC26A3 gene. The encoded protein has homology to sulfate transporters.

Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.2T>G (p.Met1Arg) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.8e-06 in 172798 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2T>G has been observed in individuals affected with hearing loss or enlarged vestibular aqueduct (Lim_2011, Wu_2019). Another start-loss variant affecting this codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21986928, 31581539). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2136582). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Experimental studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon affects SLC26A4 function (PMID: 19204907). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2136582). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individuals with SLC26A4-related conditions (PMID: 17876604, 19204907, 21961810, 27997596). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033302, gnomAD 0.008%). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the SLC26A4 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 21. -
