Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS1PM1PM2PM5PP2PP5

The NM_000441.2(SLC26A4):​c.87G>T​(p.Glu29Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000214 in 1,404,860 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E29G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

PS1
Transcript NM_000441.2 (SLC26A4) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000441.2
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-107661727-A-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 552271.

Apr 22, 2025
Foundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology, FRIGE's Institute of Human Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A heterozygous missense variant in exon 2 of the SLC26A4 gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Aspartic acid for Glutamic acid at codon 29 (p.Glu29Asp) was detected. The observed variant has not been reported in the 1000 genomes, gnomAD (v3.1), gnomAD (v2.1) and topmed databases. The in-silico predictions of the variant are damaging by SIFT and LRT. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as variant of uncertain significance. -
