Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM3_StrongPS3_SupportingPP3PP4PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.845G>A (NM_000441.2) variant in SLC26A4 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of cysteine by tyrosine at amino acid 282 (p.Cys282Tyr). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v.2.1.1 is 0.000053 (6/113490 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen Hearing Loss threshold (<0.0007) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.719 which is above the threshold of 0.7, evidence that correlates with impact to SLC26A4 function (PP3). This variant has been detected in at least 4 individuals with hearing loss. Of those individuals, three were compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant observed in trans and one had a rare VUS variant on other allele (c.1001+1G>A, c.233A > G, 3.25 PM3 points, PMID:26969326,33152970, SCV000060163.6, SCV000343642.4) (PM3_Strong). At least one proband with this variant displayed features of sensorineural hearing loss and enlarged vestibular aqueduct, a phenotype highly specific for Pendred syndrome (PP4, PMID:26969326,33152970, SCV000060163.6). Functional studies including fluorescence assays have demonstrated that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; PMID:26752218). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Pendred syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the Hearing Loss VCEP: PM2_Supporting, PP3, PM3_Strong, PP4, PS3_Supporting. (ClinGen Hearing Loss VCEP specifications version 2; 1/18/2023). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA261440/MONDO:0010134/005

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.
