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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 7-107696040-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-107696040-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 228395.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.1544+1G>A variant in SLC26A4 has been identified by our lab in 1 individua l with hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. This variant h as been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 228395). This variant occurs in the i nvariant region (+/- 1/2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to c ause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Loss of function of the SLC26A4 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive hearing loss. In summary, the c.1544+1G>A variant meets criteria to be classifie d as pathogenic for hearing loss in an autosomal recessive manner. ACMG/AMP Crit eria applied: PVS1, PM2, PM4. -
