Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PP1_StrongPS3_SupportingPP4PP3PM3PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: This variant has been detected in patients with hearing loss in trans with at least 4 pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic variants (PM3_VeryStrong; PMID:25372295, 23638949, 25468468, 24338212, 25394566, 19786220, 19017801, 27541434, 21366435, 17309986, 24007330, 24224479, 21961810, 2844304, 19509082, 15811013). The p.Thr410Met variant in SLC26A4 has been reported to segregate in an autosomal recessive pattern with hearing loss in at least 7 family members (PP1_Strong; PMID:19017801, 9618167, 15811013). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Thr410Met variant may impact the protein (PP3). At least one patient with a variant in this gene displayed features of EVA or Mondini malformation (PP4; PMID:15355436, 15811013). The allele frequency of the p.Thr410Met variant in the SLC26A4 gene is 0.062% (19/30782) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which is a low enough frequency to award PM2_Supporting based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Pendred syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PM3_VS, PP1_S, PP3, PS3_P, PM2_P, PP4.

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.

This variant has been detected in patients with hearing loss in trans with at least 4 pathogenic or suspected-pathogenic variants (PM3_VeryStrong; PMID: 25372295, 23638949, 25468468, 24338212, 25394566, 19786220, 19017801, 27541434, 21366435, 17309986, 24007330, 24224479, 21961810, 2844304, 19509082, 15811013). The p.Thr410Met variant in SLC26A4 has been reported to segregate in an autosomal recessive pattern with hearing loss in at least 7 family members (PP1_Strong; PMID: 19017801, 9618167, 15811013). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Thr410Met variant may impact the protein (PP3). At least one patient with a variant in this gene displayed features of EVA or Mondini malformation (PP4; PMID: 15355436, 15811013). The allele frequency of the p.Thr410Met variant in the SLC26A4 gene is 0.062% (19/30782) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which is a low enough frequency to award PM2_Supporting based on the thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Pendred syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Hearing Loss Expert Panel: PM3_VS, PP1_S, PP3, PS3_P, PM2_P, PP4.

Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.1229C>T (p.Thr410Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the SLC26A/SulP transporter domain (IPR011547) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00018 in 250840 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in SLC26A4 causing Pendred Syndrome (0.00018 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1229C>T has been widely reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Pendred Syndrome (example, Coyle_1998, Fugazzola_2002, Chen_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and one espert panel (ClinGen Hearing Loss Variant Curation Expert Panel) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

T410M accounted for 4% of the SLC26A4 variants identified in a cohort of Korean patients with hearing loss and enlarged vestibular aqueduct (Lee et al., 2014); Published functional studies demonstrate this variant results in reduced or absent surface expression of the protein and impairs anion exchange activity (Lee et al., 2014; Taylor et al., 2002); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16711435, 21961810, 24338212, 25266519, 19786220, 24224479, 23469187, 15747138, 25468468, 20842945, 26763877, 15811013, 19509082, 11919333, 24007330, 27771369, 30733538, 32165640, 17718863, 9618167, 16283880, 28444304, 28604962, 28964290, 29372807, 30622556, 30693673, 31035178, 30036422, 31599023, 30842343, 31914302, 31541171, 32417962, 30896630, 30275481, 11932316, 31589614, 32447495, 15905611, 32645618, 33597575)

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 410 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Thr410Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033220, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Pendred syndrome (PMID: 9618167, 11919333, 11932316, 24224479, 25468468). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43498). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SLC26A4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SLC26A4 function (PMID: 11932316, 24007330). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The Thr410Met variant in SLC26A4 has been reported in over 34 individuals with h earing loss and was not identified in 1576 control chromosomes (Arellano 2005, D ai 2009, Hutchin 2005, Wang 2007). Many of these individuals were homozygous or compound heterozygous. This variant causes the protein to be retained in the en doplasmic reticulum instead of functioning normally at the plasma membrane, thus greatly reducing its sodium-iodide efflux action (Taylor 2002). In summary, thi s variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
