Extremely discrepant mutation spectrum of
Background Mutations in SLC26A4 cause Pendred syndrome (hearing loss with goiter) or DFNB4 (non-syndromic hearing loss with inner ear malformation, such as enlarged vestibular aqueduct or Mondini deformity).

Comparative analysis of haplotypes carrying pathogenic variants c.1545T>G, c.2027T>A and c.919-2A>G of the SLC26A4 gene in patients with hearing loss from the Tyva Republic (Southern Siberia) [PDF]
Pathogenic variants in the SLC26A4 gene (OMIM #605646), leading to non-syndromic recessive hearing loss type 4 (DFNB4) and Pendred syndrome, significantly contribute to the etiology of hearing loss in many populations of the world.

Novel genetic determinants contribute to hearing loss in a central European cohort with enlarged vestibular aqueduct [PDF]
Background The enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) is the most commonly detected inner ear malformation. Biallelic pathogenic variants in the SLC26A4 gene, coding for the anion exchanger pendrin, are frequently involved in determining Pendred syndrome and

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-Syndromic Hearing Loss [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.

Specific Distribution of GJB2 Mutations in Kurdistan Province of Iran; Report of a Relatively Isolated Population [PDF]
Hearing Loss (HL) represents high genetic heterogeneity with an incidence of almost 1 out of 500 newborns in most populations. Approximately half of the cases have a genetic basis that most of them are autosomal recessive non-syndromic (ARNSHL) with ...

ACQUEDOTTO VESTIBOLARE ALLARGATO: S. DI PENDRED, DFNB4, SINDROME DELL’ACQUEDOTTO VESTIBOLARE ALLARGATO [PDF]
L’acquedotto vestibolare è un canale osseo che si estende dalla parete mediale del vestibolo alla faccia cerebellare della piramide petrosa, contiene vasi e una componente del labirinto membranoso dell’orecchio interno, il dotto endolinfatico che si apre nel sacco endolinfatico.

Exonic Deletions and Deep Intronic Variants of the <i>SLC26A4</i> Gene Contribute to the Genetic Diagnosis of Unsolved Patients With Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct. [PDF]
Enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) is a frequently occurring inner ear malformation that associates with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), with SLC26A4 being the responsible gene. Based on multiplex PCR enrichment and sequencing of the exonic and flanking regions of the SLC26A4 gene, we developed a panel specifically for EVA and found that up to 95 ...
