Identification of novel variants in Iranian consanguineous pedigrees with nonsyndromic hearing loss by next‐generation sequencing

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2020., 2020
In the present study, nine unrelated Iranian consanguineous families with at least one affected individual were tested by next‐generation sequencing (NGS) of 127 known deafness genes. In this report, one compound heterozygote and eight homozygote variants, of which five are novel, were identified: CDH23:p.(Glu1970Lys), and p.(Ala1072Asp), GIPC3:p ...

Programmed cell death pathways in hearing loss: A review of apoptosis, autophagy and programmed necrosis

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 53, Issue 11, Novemeber 2020., 2020
The authors review accumulating evidence pointing out that programmed cell death pathways, including apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis, play key roles in ultimate fates of auditory hair cells, when cells suffer adverse factors. These three forms of PCD may jointly decide occurrence of hearing loss.

Genetics of pediatric hearing loss: A functional perspective

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 511-519, June 2020., 2020
Abstract Objectives This article reviews the current role of genetics in pediatric hearing loss (HL). Methods A review of the current literature regarding the genetic basis of HL in children was performed. Results To date, 119 nonsyndromic genes have been associated with HL.

Cut loci and conjugate loci on Liouville surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In the earlier paper (Itoh and Kiyohara, Manuscr Math 114:247–264, 2004), we showed that the cut locus of a general point on two-dimensional ellipsoid is a segment of a curvature line and proved "Jacobi’s last geometric statement" on the singularities of

Diagnostic pitfalls for GJB2‐related hearing loss: A novel deletion detected by Array‐CGH analysis in a Japanese patient with congenital profound hearing loss

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 6, Issue 11, Page 2111-2116, November 2018., 2018
Here, we report a novel deletion in the GJB2 gene observed in a Japanese hearing loss patient. The deleted segment started in the middle of the GJB2 gene, but the GJB6 gene remained intact. This partial deletion in the GJB2 gene highlights the need for further improvements in GJB2 screening.

Multiple Loci Are Associated with White Blood Cell Phenotypes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
White blood cell (WBC) count is a common clinical measure from complete blood count assays, and it varies widely among healthy individuals. Total WBC count and its constituent subtypes have been shown to be moderately heritable, with the heritability ...

Associations between GJB2, Mitochondrial 12S rRNA, SLC26A4 Mutations, and Hearing Loss among Three Ethnicities

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The epidemiological researches show that the mutations of GJB2, mitochondrial 12S rRNA, and SLC26A4 genes have played an important role in the hearing loss. This study aims to investigate the mutation spectrum of GJB2, mitochondrial 12S rRNA, and SLC26A4 genes of Han Chinese, Hui people, and Uyghur ethnicities in sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL ...

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.

Identification of Missense Mutation (I12T) in the BSND Gene and Bioinformatics Analysis

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Nonsyndromic hearing loss is a paradigm of genetic heterogeneity with 85 loci and 39 nuclear disease genes reported so far. Mutations of BSND have been shown to cause Bartter syndrome type IV, characterized by significant renal abnormalities and deafness and nonsyndromic nearing loss. We studied a Pakistani consanguineous family.
