Objective: to evaluate the gene-gene interaction, assess the risks and develop some approximation models of hearing loss / deafness occurrence in children, depending on the genes polymorphism gab junction B2 (GJB2, rs80338939), and interleukin-4 (IL-4 ...

Variants in Genes Associated with Hearing Loss in Children: Prevalence in a Large Canadian Cohort
This study assessed the prevalence of genetic variants associated with hearing loss in a large cohort of children. A total of 485 children underwent genetic testing, which identified 923 variants, most of which were of uncertain significance. A genetic cause of hearing loss was found in 15% of children which is lower than typically reported.

Mutation spectrum of hearing loss patients in Northwest China: Identification of 20 novel variants
We detected and analysed 362 Chinese non‐syndromic HL patients, of whom 102 patients were assigned a molecular diagnosis with 52 different variants in 22 deafness genes. Twenty of the variants in 15 deafness genes were novel. Our study expanded the spectrum of deafness gene variation.

New, easy and rapid high-throughput detection method for the common GJB2 (CX26), 35delG mutation
: GJB2 (Gap Junction protein beta type 2; Connexin 26, CX26) is known for its contribution to nonsyndromic recessive deafness (NSRD). One particular mutation, 35delG, a deletion of one guanine from a stretch of six leading to a frame shift early in the ...

Autosomal recessive non‐syndromic hearing loss genes in Pakistan during the previous three decades
Abstract Hearing loss is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder, with over 148 genes and 170 loci associated with its pathogenesis. The spectrum and frequency of causal variants vary across different genetic ancestries and are more prevalent in populations that practice consanguineous marriages.

Connecxin 26 Gene Mutations in Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss in Hamadan Province
Introduction & Objective : Hearing loss is the most prevalent form of sensory impairment in humans, affecting approximately one in 1000 infants. In more than half of the cases, the deafness is inherited, and about 80% of hereditary deafness transmitted ...

Investigating GJB2 Mutation in 31 Individuals With Non-syndromic Hearing Loss
Background and Aim: Non-syndromic hearing loss is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Mutation in the GJB2 gene is a major cause of non-syndromic hearing loss in numerous countries. This study aimed to evaluate GJB2 mutations in 31 individuals with non-

Genetic screening of 15 hearing loss variants in 77,647 neonates with clinical follow‐up
This study was the largest‐scale neonatal carrier screening for hearing loss genes in Southeast China. It showed an overall prevalence and genotype distribution characteristics of hearing loss genes in newborn population. Our workflow facilitated the application and development of neonatal genetic screening.
