Pendred syndrome Pathogenic:4
Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.2089+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.3e-05 in 222764 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.2089+1G>A, has been reported in the literature in homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with hearing loss, with- or without the thyroid signs that are characteristic for Pendred Syndrome (e.g. Albert_2006, Ladsous_2014, Sheppard_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 18 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 present in population databases (rs727503430, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Pendred syndrome (PMID: 2422447, 15355436). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 165263). 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. -
The c.2089+1G>A variant in the SLC26A4 gene has been reported previously in the presence of another SLC26A4 variant, in individuals with Pendred syndrome, exhibiting sensorineural hearing loss, vestibular aqueductal enlargement and both with and without thyroid involvement (Blons et al., 2004; Banghova et al., 2008; Ladsous et al., 2014). This splice site variant destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 18. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The c.2089+1G>A variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). We interpret c.2089+1G>A as a pathogenic variant. -
Rare genetic deafness Pathogenic:1
The 2089+1G>A variant in SLC26A4 has been previously identified in two individua ls with Pendred syndrome and segregated with disease in an affected sibling of one of these individuals (Blons 2004, Banghova 2008). This variant was absent fr om large population studies. The variant occurs in the invariant region (+1/2) o f the 5? splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing le ading to an abnormal or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our crite ria to be classified as pathogenic (http://pcpgm.partners.org/LMM). -
