Delayed progressive sensorineural hearing loss due to a novel compound heterozygous PTPRQ mutation in a Chinese patient. [PDF]
New compound heterozygous PTPRQ gene mutations, nonsense (c.90C>A, p.Y30X) and splice (c.5426+1G>A) mutations in two PTPRQ alleles, were identified in the two sisters and were presumably autosomal recessive. This study increases the spectrum of PTPRQ gene mutations that might be involved in delayed progressive autosomal recessive non‐syndromic hearing ...

Treating Hearing Loss: From Cochlear Implantation to Gene Therapy. [PDF]
Cochlear implantation is the primary treatment for deafness, restoring functional hearing in over a million people. Recently, gene therapy has enabled biological hearing restoration in a small number of patients with OTOF‐related mutations. This perspective evaluates both approaches, concluding that cochlear implants will remain the standard for most ...

A Novel <i>LMX1A</i> Frameshift Variant Underlies Familial Phenotypic Heterogeneity in DFNA7. [PDF]
Pathogenic variants in the LIM‐homeodomain transcription factor LMX1A represent a rare yet critical etiology for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 7 (DFNA7) and less frequently, its autosomal recessive counterpart (ARNSHL). Here, we describe a novel heterozygous frameshift variant, LMX1A c.405delT (p.Phe135LeufsTer3), identified in a three ...

GJB2 mutations in Iranian Azeri population with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL): First report of c.238 C>A mutation in Iran. [PDF]
The data from the 50 families in Ardebil Province with ARNSHL were analyzed, and GJB2 mutations were detected in 13 (26%) of the families. The blood sample was taken from the patients with their consent, and DNA extraction was carried out. Screening of 35delG was performed using ARMS‐PCR, and eight of the families were observed with 35delG in the ...

A Novel Mutation Located in the N-Terminal Domain of MYO15A Caused Sensorineural Hearing Loss. [PDF]
Two iPSCs were generated separately from the proband and a mutation‐negative family member, and those were then induced to hair cell‐like cells to examine the effects of the MYO15A mutation (c.2482C>T) on the morphology and function of those cells. Results demonstrate that the novel mutation may cause inner ear hair cell dysfunction and audiological ...

Objective: Congenital hearing loss occurs in 1 out of 1000 births and about 50% of all cases are estimated to be of genetic origin. About 70% of hereditary hearing loss is non-syndromic with autosomal recessive inheritance accounting for 80% of the ...

Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss genes in Pakistan during the previous three decades. [PDF]
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.

This study describes a novel c.5994G > T (p.Trp1998Cys) missense variant and reported, for the first time, a synonymous coding base change c.2904G > A (p.Glu968=) variant within MYO7A in a patient with nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNB2 phenotype). The in vitro minigene expression indicated that p.Glu968= could cause skipping over exon 23, which was ...

A novel missense variant in CEACAM16 gene causes autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss
Abstract Aim Autosomal dominant non‐syndromic hearing loss is a common sensorineural disorder with extremely high genetic heterogeneity. CEA antigen‐related cell adhesion molecule 16(CEACAM16)is a secreted glycoprotein encoded by the CEACAM16 gene. Mutations in CEACAM16 lead to autosomal dominant non‐syndromic hearing loss in humans, due defects in the
