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 replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 558 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Asn558Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs766206507, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SLC26A4-related conditions (PMID: 28964290; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 597784). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SLC26A4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Asn558 amino acid residue in SLC26A4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with SLC26A4-related conditions (PMID: 29501320), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.1673A>G (p.Asn558Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the STAS domain (IPR002645) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 250834 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SLC26A4 causing Pendred Syndrome (4.4e-05 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1673A>G has been reported in the literature in homozygous or compound heterozygous individuals with clinical features of Pendred Syndrome (Cengiz_2018, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)). 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. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28964290). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 597784). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The SLC26A4 c.1673A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn558Ser. This variant was reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in two unrelated individuals with sensorineural hearing loss with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) or incomplete partition (Cengiz et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28964290). This variant is reported in 0.032% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. An alternative substitution (p.Asn558Ile) at this amino acid position have been reported in patients with hearing loss and EVA (Liang et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29501320). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
