    Summary

    This study describes a large family with Pendred syndrome, characterized by deafness and goitre. Unique variations in this kindred suggest a distinct spontaneous mutation may be responsible.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Endocrinology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder typically presenting with congenital sensorineural hearing loss and goitre.
    • The syndrome is commonly associated with mutations in the SLC26A4 gene.
    • Variations in clinical presentation can occur, suggesting potential genetic heterogeneity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a large kindred exhibiting features consistent with Pendred syndrome.
    • To investigate potential unique genetic factors contributing to the observed phenotype in this isolated population.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical evaluation of affected individuals within the kindred.
    • Detailed family history collection.
    • Phenotypic assessment including audiological and thyroid examinations.

    Main Results:

    • Several individuals within the kindred presented with deafness and goitre, consistent with Pendred syndrome.
    • The observed pattern of the syndrome in this kindred showed some deviations from the classical presentation.
    • The findings suggest a possible novel or distinct mutation underlying the syndrome in this specific population.

    Conclusions:

    • The described kindred provides a unique example of Pendred syndrome.
    • Deviations in the syndrome's presentation may indicate a spontaneous mutation distinct from those commonly identified.
    • Further genetic analysis is warranted to elucidate the specific mutation in this family.
