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.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.1001+4A>G alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant weakens a canonical 5' splicing donor site, while one predicts it abolishes the site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, resulting in inclusion of a portion of the intronic region (Lee_2019). The variant was absent in 250160 control chromosomes. c.1001+4A>G has been reported in the literature in the homozygous state in a family affected with Pendred Syndrome (Park_2003). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. One submitter has provided a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
