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.

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 12 of the SLC26A4 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in SLC26A4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16283880, 25394566, 26252218, 26445815). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SLC26A4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43508). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The SLC26A4 c.1437+2T>G variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice donor site in SLC26A4 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

The 1437+2T>G variant in SLC26A4 has not been reported in the literature nor pre viously identified by our laboratory. This variant occurs in the invariant regio n (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered s plicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic (http://pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). -
