Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points: 1P and 8B. BA1PP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The filtering allele frequency of the p.Ile455Phe variant in the SLC26A4 gene is 3% (981/30778) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; calculated by using inverse allele frequency at https://www.cardiodb.org/allelefrequencyapp/), which is a high frequency that is consistent with benign classification based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss variants (BA1).

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 filtering allele frequency of the p.Ile455Phe variant in the SLC26A4 gene is 3% (981/30778) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; calculated by using inverse allele frequency at https://www.cardiodb.org/allelefrequencyapp/), which is a high frequency that is consistent with benign classification based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Expert Panel for autosomal recessive hearing loss variants (BA1). -

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

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

The p.Ile455Phe variant in SLC26A4 has been identified in at least 2 individuals with non-syndromic deafness (PMID: 12676893), and has been identified in >3% of South Asian chromosomes and 13 homozygotes by ExAC (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as benign for autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness. -
