Objective

Pendred syndrome (PS) is characterized by the association of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and a partial iodide organification defect at the thyroid level. It is caused by mutations in the SLC26A4 gene. The encoded transmembrane protein, called pendrin, has been found to be able to transport chloride and other anions.

Design

The aim of the present study was to characterize a family with PS, which shows a strong intrafamilial phenotypic variability, including kidney atrophy in one member. The age of disease-onset was significantly different in all three affected siblings, ranging from 2 to 21 years for thyroid alterations and from 1.5 to 11 years for SNHL.

Methods

Clinical and genetic studies were carried out in affected siblings. The functional activity of the novel duplication found was studied by a fluorimetric method in a human renal cell line (HEK293 Phoenix) in which the protein was overexpressed.

Results

All three siblings were found to be compound heterozygotes for the missense mutation (1226G>A, R409H) and for a novel 11 bp duplication (1561_1571CTTGGAATGGC, S523fsX548). The latter mutation creates a frame shift leading to the loss of the entire carboxy-terminus domain. Functional studies of this mutant demonstrated impaired transport of chloride and iodide when expressed in HEK 293 Phoenix cells, when compared with wild type pendrin.

Conclusions

A novel 11 bp duplication was found in a family with Pendred syndrome, showing a high intrafamilial phenotypic variability. An impaired transmembrane anionic transport of the mutated SLC26A4 protein was demonstrated in functional studies using a heterologous cell system."xsd:string
