Epithelial cell stretching and luminal acidification lead to a retarded development of stria vascularis and deafness in mice lacking pendrin. [PDF]
Loss-of-function mutations of SLC26A4/pendrin are among the most prevalent causes of deafness. Deafness and vestibular dysfunction in the corresponding mouse model, Slc26a4(-/-), are associated with an enlargement and acidification of the membranous ...

Heterogeneity in the processing defect of SLC26A4 mutants
Background: Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene are responsible for Pendred syndrome and non-syndromic hearing loss (DFNB4). This study analysed non-synonymous SLC26A4 mutations newly identified in East Asians, as well as three common mutations in Caucasians, to characterise their molecular pathogenic mechanisms and to ...

SLC26A4 correlates with homologous recombination deficiency and patient prognosis in prostate cancer
Abstract Background Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is closely associated with patient prognosis and treatment options in prostate cancer (PCa). However, there is a lack of quantitative indicators related to HRD to predict the prognosis of PCa accurately.

Objective Pendred syndrome (PS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by sensorineural hearing loss and thyroid dyshormonogenesis. It is caused by biallelic mutations in the SLC26A4 gene encoding for pendrin.

The iodide transporter Slc26a7 impacts thyroid function more strongly than Slc26a4 in mice
SLC26A4 is a known iodide transporter, and is localized at the apical membrane of thyrocytes. Previously, we reported that SLC26A7 is also involved in iodide transport and that Slc26a7 is a novel causative gene for congenital hypothyroidism. However, its

BackgroundMutations in SLC26A4, which encodes pendrin, are a common cause of deafness. SLC26A4 mutations are responsible for Pendred syndrome and non-syndromic enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA).

Intrafamilial phenotypic variability in families with biallelic SLC26A4 mutations
Objectives/HypothesisEnlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) and hearing loss are known to be caused by SLC26A4 mutations, but large phenotypic variability exists among patients with biallelic SLC26A4 mutations. Intrafamilial phenotypic variability was analyzed in multiplex EVA families carrying biallelic SLC26A4 mutations to identify the contribution of ...

NaCl Restriction Upregulates Renal Slc26a4 Through Subcellular Redistribution [PDF]
Slc26a4 (Pds , pendrin) is an anion transporter expressed in the apical region of type B and non-A, non-B intercalated cells of the distal nephron. It is upregulated by aldosterone analogues and is critical in the development of mineralocorticoid-induced hypertension.

Macrophage invasion contributes to degeneration of stria vascularis in Pendred syndrome mouse model
Background Pendred syndrome, an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by deafness and goiter, is caused by a mutation of SLC26A4, which codes for the anion exchanger pendrin.
