Autosomal recessive non‐syndromic hearing loss genes in Pakistan during the previous three decades

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 8, April 2024.
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.

open access: yes, 2001
. Mutations in myosin XVA are responsible for the shaker 2 (sh2) phenotype in mice and nonsyndromic autosomal recessive profound hearing loss DFNB3 on chromosome 17p11.2.

The clinical and genetic spectrum of twenty-six individuals with hearing loss affected by MYO15A variants

open access: yesScientific Reports
Myosin XVA (MYO15A) is a member of the myosin superfamily that, as a motor protein, plays an essential role in actin polymerization at the tip of the stereocilia in hair cells. Variants in MYO15A are known to be the third most common reason for autosomal

مطالعه‌ی لوکوس 3DFNB وابسته به ناشنوایی غیر سندرمیک اتوزومال مغلوب در جمعیتی از ناشنوایان ایرانی با روش آنالیز پیوستگی ژنتیکی

open access: yesمجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2014
مقدمه: ناشنوایی یک اختلال شایع می‌باشد که به طور معمول، هتروژنی ژنتیکی را در جمعیت‌های انسانی نشان می‌دهد. بروز ناشنوایی مادرزادی به میزان 1 در هر 500 تولد محاسبه شده است که حدود 70 درصد این موارد به عوامل ژنتیکی نسبت داده می‌شوند. نقص ژنتیکی ناشنوایی به

Mutational spectrum of MYO15A : the large N-terminal extension of myosin XVA is required for hearing

open access: yes, 2007
Human MYO15A is located on chromosome 17p11.2, has 66 exons and encodes unconventional myosin XVA. Recessive mutations of MYO15A are associated with profound, nonsyndromic hearing loss DFNB3 in humans, and deafness and circling behavior in shaker 2 mice.

Contribution of GJB2 mutations and Four common DFNB loci in autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment in Markazi and Qom provinces of Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This study aimed to investigate the contribution of four common DFNB ("DFN" for deafness and "B" for autosomal resessive locus) loci and GJB2 gene mutations (exon 2) in hearing impairment in individuals living in Markazi and Qom provinces of Iran.

Detection of two pathogenesis previously unreported myosin xva pathogenic variants in two large Iranian pedigrees with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss

open access: yes, 2021
Purpose: Hearing loss (HL) is a genetically heterogeneous common neurosensory disorder. Among different ethnic groups, pathogenic variants of Myosin XVa (MYO15A) at the DFNB3 locus are the common causes of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss ...

Immobilizing Mutation in an Unconventional Myosin15a Affects not only the Structure of Mechanosensory Stereocilia in the Inner Ear Hair Cells but also their Ionic Conductances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In the inner and outer hair cells (OHCs) of the inner ear, an unconventional myosin 15a localizes at the tips of mechanosensory stereocilia and plays an important role in forming and maintaining their normal structure. A missense mutation makes the motor

Mutation analysis of GJB2 and GJB6 genes and the genetic linkage analysis of five common DFNB loci in the Iranian families with autosomal recessive non-syndrom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The incidence of pre-lingual hearing loss (HL) is about 1 in 1000 neonates. More than 60% of cases are inherited. Non-syndromic HL (NSHL) is extremely heterogeneous: more than 130 loci have been identified so far.

A Unique Point Mutation in the PMP22 Gene Is Associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease and Deafness [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
SummaryCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) with deafness is clinically distinct among the genetically heterogeneous group of CMT disorders. Molecular studies in a large family with autosomal dominant CMT and deafness have not been reported.
