Contributing Determinants to Hearing Loss in Elderly Men and Women: Results from the Population-Based Rotterdam Study [PDF]
To contribute to a better understanding of the etiology in age-related hearing loss, we carried out a cross-sectional study of 3,315 participants (aged 52-99 years) in the Rotterdam Study, to analyze both low- and high-frequency hearing loss in men and ...

A Novel Intronic Variant Causes Aberrant Splicing of PCDH15 in a Family With Usher Syndrome Type 1F
Minigene splicing assays elucidated the pathogenicity of a novel intronic c.3717+5G>A mutation in the PCDH15 gene, which was identified in a family affected by Usher syndrome type 1F. The results demonstrated that the c.3717+5G>A mutation can lead to exon 27 skipping and retention of 51 bp at the 5′ end of intron 27, resulting in truncated or abnormal ...

Novel Pathogenic Variant Confirms the Association of REST and Jones Syndrome
Jones syndrome (JS) is an ultra‐rare condition characterized by gingival fibromatosis and progressive sensorineural hearing loss. It has been associated with a pathogenic REST exon‐5 variant (c.2670_2673del) in a Finnish family. We describe the first Italian family with JS in which a novel pathogenic REST exon‐5 variant (c.2645T>G) was identified ...
