Postnatal Slc26a4 gene therapy improves hearing and structural integrity in a hereditary hearing loss model [PDF]
Mutations in SLC26A4 are the second most common cause of hereditary hearing loss (HL) in many Asian countries, leading to DFNB4, a condition characterized by progressive HL and inner ear malformations.

Pendred syndrome and the enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) are considered phenotypic variations of the same entity due to mutations in the SLC26A4 (pendrin) gene. Pendred syndrome consists in sensorineural deafness, goiter and impaired thyroid hormone synthesis while in EVA thyroid function seems to be preserved.

Comparative analysis of haplotypes carrying pathogenic variants c.1545T>G, c.2027T>A and c.919-2A>G of the SLC26A4 gene in patients with hearing loss from the Tyva Republic (Southern Siberia) [PDF]
Pathogenic variants in the SLC26A4 gene (OMIM #605646), leading to non-syndromic recessive hearing loss type 4 (DFNB4) and Pendred syndrome, significantly contribute to the etiology of hearing loss in many populations of the world.

Genetic Alterations in Pendrin (SLC26A4) Gene in Adult Hypothyroid Patients
AbstractCurrent study was aimed to screen the SLC26A4 gene in 127 nonautoimmune and noncongenital hypothyroid patients, who were under optimal iodine nutrition and devoid of any characteristics of Pendred syndrome from eastern part of Indian population.

Whole Exome Sequencing Identified a Novel Mutation in the LOXHD1 Gene in Consanguineous Iranian Families With Hearing Loss. [PDF]
Whole exome sequencing in a consanguineous Iranian family with autosomal recessive non‐syndromic hearing loss revealed a novel homozygous frameshift mutation, c.3713dupA (p.Asp1238Glufs*10), in the LOXHD1 gene. This mutation, located in exon 24, results in a premature stop codon and a truncated protein. Sanger sequencing confirmed co‐segregation of the

Establishment of two iPSC lines from healthy donor with heterozygous mutation in the SLC26A4 gene
The human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines, CSUXHEi001-A and CSUXHEi002-A, were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The donors were couple and each of them has a heterozygous mutation in the SLC26A4 gene.

The ZBTB16/CUL3/ROC1 ubiquitin ligase drives the degradation of pathogenic pendrin (SLC26A4) protein variants [PDF]
Background Pathogenic sequence alterations in the SLC26A4 gene, which encodes the solute carrier SLC26A4/pendrin, lead to Pendred syndrome and non-syndromic autosomal recessive deafness type B4 (DFNB4), two of the most common forms of hearing loss ...
