This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 233 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Val233Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital hypothyroidism and/or deafness (PMID: 17443271, 25788563, 26886089, 28215547, 32459320, 34170635). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43564). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SLC26A4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Val233Leu v ariant in SLC26A4 has been reported as a compound heterozygous variant with anot her pathogenic variant in a Chinese proband with hearing loss and enlarged vesti bular aqueduct (EVA) and was absent in 200 race matched control chromosomes (Hu, 2007). However, it was not reported whether this variant was in trans with the second SLC26A4 variant. Furthermore, computational analyses (biochemical amino a cid properties, homology, PolyPhen, SIFT, AlignGVGD) do not provide strong suppo rt for or against pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of this v ariant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. -

Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.697G>C (p.Val233Leu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the SLC26A/SulP transporter domain (IPR011547) of the encoded protein sequence. 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 0.0001 in 251476 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SLC26A4 causing Pendred Syndrome (0.0001 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.697G>C has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in individuals affected with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) (example, Hu_2007, Tian_2021) as well as a non-informative genotype in settings of multigene panel testing for hearing loss, congenital hypothyroidism (CH) (example, Nishio_2015, Fan_2017, Huang_2018, Yamaguchi_2020, Chen_2022, Usami_2022). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34752165, 28215547, 17443271, 29605365, 25788563, 34170635, 34599366, 32459320). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43564). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
