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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.987

Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.445G>A (p.Gly149Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251470 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.445G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with clinical features of Pendred Syndrome (de Moraes_2013, Imizcoz_2023). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Pendred Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in 55% of normal transport activity (de Moraes_2016). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 37811145, 23273637, 26752218). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 556439). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
