Invitae	RCV000724118	SCV000947211	pathogenic	not provided	2024-01-21	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 239 of the SLC26A4 protein (p.Val239Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs111033256, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with SLC26A4-related conditions (PMID: 12974744, 16460646, 23770805, 25394566). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43566). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SLC26A4 function (PMID: 16460646, 22116360). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000169244	SCV001337950	pathogenic	Pendred syndrome	2020-01-14	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: SLC26A4 c.716T>A (p.Val239Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the SLC26A/SulP transporter domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0002 in 251468 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in SLC26A4 causing Pendred syndrome (0.0002 vs 0.0035). c.716T>A has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Pendred syndrome (eg. Khan_2013, Dossena_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence reports the variant to lead to improper intracellular localization and retainment in the endoplasmic retuclum, and impaired protein function (Walsh_2006, Dossena_2011). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

3billion	RCV001004629	SCV002058856	pathogenic	Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 4	2022-01-03	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000043566, PMID:12676893, PS1_S). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals(PMID: 12676893, 23504402, 30303587, PM3_S). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 31599023, PS3_S). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.935, 3CNET: 0.981, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Deafness (PP2_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000203, PM2_M).Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

UAEU Genomics Laboratory, United Arab Emirates University	RCV001004629	SCV003926556	pathogenic	Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 4	2021-11-22	criteria provided, single submitter	research	The missense variant NM_000441.2(SLC26A4):c.716T>A (p.Val239Asp) has been observed in several individuals and families affected with SLC26A4-related conditions (PMID: 12974744, 16460646, 23770805, 25394566). The Val239Asp is a common variant in the SLC26A4 gene that is associated with Pendred syndrome in the Pakistani population (PMID:19287372). This variant is observed in 51/30616 (0.1666%) alleles from individuals of gnomAD South Asian background in the gnomAD dataset (Genome Aggregation Database et al., 2020), but was not seen in the homozygous state. Computational prediction tools and conservational analysis predict that the p.Val239Asp missense change has a damaging effect on the protein structure or function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change has a deleterious effect on protein function and localization (PMID: 16460646, 22116360) For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Neuberg Supratech Reference Laboratories Pvt Ltd, Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine	RCV000169244	SCV004048529	pathogenic	Pendred syndrome		criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The missense variant c.716T>A (p.Val239Asp) in SLC26A4 gene has been observed in several individuals and families affected with SLC26A4-related conditions (Tekin M et.al.,2003). Experimental evidence reports the variant to lead to improper intracellular localization and retainment in the endoplasmic retuclum, and impaired protein function (Walsh T et.al.,2006). This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. The p.Val239Asp variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes and allele frequency of 0.02028 % is reported in gnomAD. The amino acid Val at position 239 is changed to a Asp changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The residue is conserved across species. The amino acid change p.Val239Asp in SLC26A4 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
