Accurate identification of the genetic determinants of rare diseases is essential for effective recurrence‐risk management and informed reproductive decision‐making. Although whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) have significantly improved diagnostic capabilities, a subset of affected families still receives no definitive ...

A novel variant of SLC26A4 and first report of the c.716T>A variant in Iranian pedigrees with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]
The autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) can be associated with variants in solute carrier family 26, member 4 (SLC26A4) gene and is the second most common cause of ARNSHL worldwide.

High phenotypic intrafamilial variability in patients with Pendred syndrome and a novel duplication in the SLC26A4 gene: clinical characterization and functional studies of the mutated SLC26A4 protein [PDF]
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.

Development of the stria vascularis and potassium regulation in the human fetal cochlea : insights into hereditary sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common congenital disorders in humans, afflicting one in every thousand newborns. The majority is of heritable origin and can be divided in syndromic and nonsyndromic forms. Knowledge of the expression

This study unveils ITGA2⁺ tumor cells as key drivers of pediatric thyroid cancer aggressiveness. These cells orchestrate dual oncogenic pathways: GLUT1‐mediated glycolytic reprogramming and M2 macrophage polarization. This metabolic‐immunological crosstalk promotes tumor progression and metastasis.

Elevated SLC26A4 gene promoter methylation is associated with the risk of presbycusis in men
Presbycusis affects approximately one-third of people over the age of 65 and is a worldwide health problem. In the current study, whether the methylation level of solute carrier family 26 member 4 (SLC26A4) predicted an increased risk of presbycusis was investigated.

SLC26A4 gene is frequently involved in nonsyndromic hearing impairment with enlarged vestibular aqueduct in Caucasian populations [PDF]
Sensorineural hearing loss is the most frequent sensory deficit of childhood and is of genetic origin in up to 75% of cases. It has been shown that mutations of the SLC26A4 (PDS) gene were involved in syndromic deafness characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing impairment and goitre (Pendred's syndrome), as well as in congenital isolated ...
