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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The 1545-7delC vari ant in SLC26A4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or in large population studies. This variant is located in the 3' splice regi on. Computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing. However, this info rmation is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clin ical significance of the 1547-7delC variant is uncertain.
