Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 5P and 4B. PM1PM5PP2BP4_Strong

The NM_000441.2(SLC26A4):​c.1616T>C​(p.Ile539Thr) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000148 in 1,510,204 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/24 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. I539M) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

The p.Ile539Thr variant in SLC26A4 has not been previously reported in individua ls with hearing loss, hearing loss with EVA, or Pendred syndrome. However, this variant was identified in 0.3% (27/10310) of African chromosomes by the Exome Ag gregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs146269871). This variant is located in the second base of the exon. The 3' splice site of th is exon resembles the minor class of the splice consensus sequence, of which the second base of the exon is included. Computational prediction tools and conserv ation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to splicin g or to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Ile539Thr va riant is uncertain. -

The c.1616T>C (p.I539T) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 14) of the SLC26A4 gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1616, causing the isoleucine (I) at amino acid position 539 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
