Molecular Features of SLC26A4 Common Variant p.L117F. [PDF]
The SLC26A4 gene, which encodes the anion exchanger pendrin, is involved in determining syndromic (Pendred syndrome) and non-syndromic (DFNB4) autosomal recessive hearing loss.

Unraveling the Genetic Landscape of Hearing Loss: A Comprehensive Study of Azeri Families in Ardabil, Iran. [PDF]
Our study highlights that SLC26A4 is the second most prevalent cause of hearing loss, following GJB2. This finding underscores the significance of understanding the genetic underpinnings of hearing loss for early diagnosis and the implementation of appropriate screening programs for different ethnic groups in Iran.

Hereditary hearing loss (HL) is known to be highly locus/allelic heterogeneous, and the prevalence of different HL forms significantly varies among populations worldwide. Investigation of region-specific landscapes of hereditary HL is important for local

TMED3 Complex Mediates ER Stress‐Associated Secretion of CFTR, Pendrin, and SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike
This study highlights the critical role of the TMED3 complex in the Golgi‐independent unconventional protein secretion (UPS) of transmembrane proteins, such as ΔF508‐CFTR, p.H723R‐pendrin and SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike. Under ER stress conditions, TMED3 initially recognizes the ER‐accumulated membrane proteins and the TMED2/3/9/10 heteromeric complex facilitates

Role of SLC4 and SLC26 solute carriers during oxidative stress
Abstract Bicarbonate is one of the major anions in mammalian tissues and fluids, is utilized by various exchangers to transport other ions and organic substrates across cell membranes and plays a critical role in cell and systemic pH homoeostasis. Chloride/bicarbonate (Cl−/HCO3−) exchangers are abundantly expressed in erythrocytes and epithelial cells ...

Milestones toward cochlear gene therapy for patients with hereditary hearing loss
Abstract A number of genes are reportedly responsible for hereditary hearing loss, which accounts for over 50% of all congenital hearing loss cases. Recent advances in genetic testing have enabled the identification of pathogenic variants in many cases, and systems have been developed to provide personalized treatment based on etiology. Gene therapy is

A Novel Frameshift Mutation of in a Korean Family With Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss and Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct [PDF]
Objectives We aimed to identify the causative mutation for siblings in a Korean family with nonsyndromic hearing loss (HL) and enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA).

We successfully identified pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in 3 Chinese families with two nonsyndromic deaf children in succession by targeted NGS. Families who have had a deaf child or families with a family history of deafness should do genetic counseling before giving birth again.

Congenital Deafness and Recent Advances Towards Restoring Hearing Loss
Abstract Congenital hearing loss is the most common birth defect, estimated to affect 2‐3 in every 1000 births. Currently there is no cure for hearing loss. Treatment options are limited to hearing aids for mild and moderate cases, and cochlear implants for severe and profound hearing loss. Here we provide a literature overview of the environmental and

Molecular diagnosis of SLC26A4-related hereditary hearing loss in a group of patients from two provinces of Iran. [PDF]
The SLC26A4 gene has been described as the second gene involved in most cases of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL), after GJB2.
