Novel pathogenic variants underlie SLC26A4-related hearing loss in a multiethnic cohort.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:The genetics of sensorineural hearing loss is characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity. Despite this heterogeneity, DNA variants found within SLC26A4 have been reported to be the second most common contributor after those of GJB2 in many populations. METHODS:Whole exome sequencing and/or Sanger sequencing of SLC26A4 in 117 individuals with sensorineural hearing loss with or without inner ear anomalies but not with goiter from Turkey, Iran, and Mexico were performed. RESULTS:We identified 27 unique SLC26A4 variants in 31 probands. The variants c.1673A > G (p.N558S), c.1708-1G > A, c.1952C > T (p.P651L), and c.2090-1G > A have not been previously reported. The p.N558S variant was detected in two unrelated Mexican families. CONCLUSION:A range of SLC26A4 variants without a common recurrent mutation underlies SLC26A4-related hearing loss in Turkey, Iran, and Mexico.
