Genetic Linkage Analysis of 15 DFNB Loci in a Group of Iranian Families with Autosomal Recessive Hearing Loss [PDF]
Background: Hearing loss (HL) is the most frequent sensory birth defect in humans. Autosomal recessive non-syndromic HL (ARNSHL) is the most common type of hereditary HL.

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.

A Family of H723R Mutation for Associated with Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome [PDF]
Recessive mutations of the SLC26A4 (PDS) gene on chromosome 7q31 can cause sensorineural deafness with goiter (Pendred syndrome, OMIM 274600) or NSRD with goiter (at the DFNB4 locus, OMIM 600791).

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 ...

Haplotype Analysis of Seven Non-Syndromeic Autosomal Recessive Hearing Loss Loci in Iranian Families
Objective: Hearing impairment is the most frequent sensorineural defect in 2 forms, syndromic and non–syndromic. The aim of this study is haplotype analysis of seven loci of non–syndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss in Iranian families. Materials &

SLC26A4 Phenotypic Variability Influences Intra- and Inter-Familial Diagnosis and Management. [PDF]
SLC26A4 is one of the most common genes causing autosomal recessive non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). It has been reported to cause Pendred Syndrome (PDS) and DFNB4 which is deafness with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA).

Analysis of SLC26A4, FOXI1, and KCNJ10 Gene Variants in Patients with Incomplete Partition of the Cochlea and Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct (EVA) Anomalies [PDF]
Pathogenic variants in the SLC26A4, FOXI1, and KCNJ10 genes are associated with hearing loss (HL) and specific inner ear abnormalities (DFNB4). In the present study, phenotype analyses, including clinical data collection, computed tomography (CT), and ...

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 ...
