Comprehensive molecular analysis of 61 Egyptian families with hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss
Abstract Nonsyndromic hearing loss is an extremely heterogeneous disorder. Thus, clinical diagnostics is challenging, in particular due to differences in the etiology of hearing loss between populations. With this study, we wanted to elucidate the genetic basis of hearing loss in 61 consanguineous Egyptian families. In 25 families, linkage analysis was

Genetic analysis of genes related to tight junction function in the Korean population with non-syndromic hearing loss. [PDF]
Tight junctions (TJs) are essential components of eukaryotic cells, and serve as paracellular barriers and zippers between adjacent tissues. TJs are critical for normal functioning of the organ of Corti, a part of the inner ear that causes loss of ...

Non-syndromic hearing impairment in India: high allelic heterogeneity among mutations in TMPRSS3, TMC1, USHIC, CDH23 and TMIE. [PDF]
Mutations in the autosomal genes TMPRSS3, TMC1, USHIC, CDH23 and TMIE are known to cause hereditary hearing loss. To study the contribution of these genes to autosomal recessive, non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) in India, we examined 374 families with

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.

Genetic linkage analysis of DFNB40 and DFNB48 loci in families with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) from western provinces of Iran [PDF]
Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common sensory disorder and 1 in every 500-1000 newborns is affected. Non-syndromic SNHL accounts for 70% of hereditary hearing loss and 80% of SNHL cases have an autosomal recessive mode of ...
