Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1PP2PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_000441.2(SLC26A4):c.1454C>T(p.Thr485Met) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000481 in 1,599,856 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T485T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Pendred syndrome    Pathogenic:2Uncertain:1 
NM_000441.1(SLC26A4):c.1454C>T(T485M) is a missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the context of Pendred syndrome. T485M has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 21366435, 21704276). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. T485M has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: EAS 0.01%). In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_000441.1(SLC26A4):c.1454C>T(T485M) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 485 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Thr485Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs370029782, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SLC26A4-related conditions (PMID: 21366435, 21704276, 34545167). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554960). 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 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SLC26A4 function (PMID: 34545167). This variant disrupts the p.Thr485 amino acid residue in SLC26A4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18285825, 19017801). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect due to reduced transport of iodide compared to wild-type (Zhang et al., 2022); Observed in homozygous state in patients with hearing loss referred for genetic testing at GeneDx and in the literature (Mercer et al., 2011), and also observed in homozygous state in multiple unrelated healthy adult individuals tested at GeneDx; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27771369, 34545167, 21704276, 21366435) -
