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.

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The p.Ser657Cys variant in SLC26A4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss and was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction too ls and conservation analyses suggest that the p.Ser657Cys variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogen icity. Other missense variants at this position (p.Ser657Asn and p.Ser657Ile) ha ve been reported in individuals with hearing loss and EVA or Pendred syndrome (T sukamoto 2003, Rendtorff 2013), suggesting variation at this position is not tol erated. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the cli nical significance of the p.Ser657Cys variant is uncertain. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 657 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Ser657Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SLC26A4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229256). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
