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.

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

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

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]
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]
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]
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.
