Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.1226G>A (p.Arg409His) 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 0.0001 in 250826 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SLC26A4 causing Pendred Syndrome (0.0001 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1226G>A has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in multiple individuals affected with Pendred Syndrome and individuals with bilateral non-syndromic hearing loss, both with and without enlarged vestibular aqueduct (e.g. Fugazzola_2007, Chai_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23918157, 17766716). Fourteen submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic (n=13)/likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

A heterozygous missense variant, NM_000441.1(SLC26A4):c.1226G>A, has been identified in exon 10 of 21 of the SLC26A4 gene. The variant is predicted to result in a minor amino acid change from arginine to histidine at position 409 of the protein (NP_000432.1(SLC26A4):p.(Arg409His)). The arginine residue at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located within the sulfate permease superfamily. In silico predictions for this variant are consistently pathogenic (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster). The variant is present in the gnomAD database at a frequency of 0.009% (0 homozygotes). The variant has been previously described as pathogenic multiple times (Kahrizi K. et al. (2009), Blons H. et al. (2004); Bogazzi F. et al. (2014), Chai Y. et al. (2013)). It has also been shown to segregate with the disease in at least 1 family (Fugazzola L. et al. 2007). Additionally, it has been shown that the mutation impairs pendrin (an anion exhange protein) function. Functional studies demonstrate that mutants lose the ability to mediate iodide efflux (Gillaim M. et al. 2005). Three different variants in the same codon resulting in a change to cysteine, proline and leucine have also been shown to cause Pendred syndrome and enlarged vestibular aqueduct (ClinVar, HGMD). Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 409 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Arg409His). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033305, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with deafness or Pendred syndrome (PMID: 11919333, 16053392, 19786220, 20597900, 21961810, 24224479, 26100058, 26226137). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43496). 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: 16053392). This variant disrupts the p.Arg409 amino acid residue in SLC26A4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18167283, 23185506, 25372295). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect due to reduction of pendrin-induced iodide and chloride transport (Gillam et al., 2005; Pera et al., 2008; Wasano et al., 2020); 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: 27247933, 21154317, 19017801, 16053392, 24348793, 23273637, 26226137, 22717225, 19608655, 25266519, 19786220, 9618166, 11919333, 27771369, 28964290, 30760291, 31599023, 21961810, 16570074, 24224479, 26100058, 20597900, 31541171, 31827275, 30896630, 32425884, 30275481, 31589614, 32447495, 32860223) -

The p.Arg409His variant in SLC26A4 has been identified in >20 individuals with h earing loss and EVA and/or goiter who were homozygous or compound heterozygous w ith a disease-causing variant on the remaining allele. In addition, the p.Arg40 9His variant segregated with disease in at least three affected siblings (Blons 2004, Chai 2013, Fugazzola 2007, Pera 2008, Pera 2008, Rendtorff 2013, Van Hauwe 1998, LMM data). This variant has been identified in 13/66658 European chromos omes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs111033305); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for DFNB4 hearing loss or Pendred syndrome in an autos omal recessive manner based on multiple co-occurrences with pathogenic SLC26A4 v ariants in individuals with hearing loss. -
