RCV000151907 | SCV000200415 | uncertain significance | not specified | 2013-11-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Val688Ala v ariant in SLC26A4 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing l oss or in large population studies. Computational analyses (conservation, AlignG VGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that the Val688Ala variant may impact the prot ein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity . In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined wi th certainty; however based upon the computational data, its absence from a larg e race matched cohort, and its presence with a likely pathogenic SLC26A4 in a he aring loss patient (this individual), we would lean towards a more likely pathog enic role. |
