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.

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. This variant disrupts the p.Ala387 amino acid residue in SLC26A4. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15933521, 22796198, 25372295). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1501060). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 387 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Ala387Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs777333979, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (Invitae). -

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.1160C>A (p.Ala387Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251080 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1160C>A has been observed in individuals affected with Pendred Syndrome (internal data). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36472766). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1501060). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
