The c.1707+5 G>A splice site variant in the SLC26A4 gene has been previously reported in both the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in association with SLC26A4-related disorders (Ganaha et al., 2013; Hao et al., 2018; Yang et al., 2005). The variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). This pathogenic variant destroys the natural splice donor site in intron 15, and is expected to cause abnormal gene splicing. In summary, we consider this to be a pathogenic variant. -
This sequence change falls in intron 15 of the SLC26A4 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SLC26A4 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs192366176, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has been observed in individuals with Pendred syndrome or sensorineural hearing loss and enlarged vestibular aqueduct (PMID: 21961810, 23705809, 26763877). This variant is also known as IVS15+5G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446457). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
