A novel variant of SLC26A4 and first report of the c.716T>A variant in Iranian pedigrees with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]
The autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) can be associated with variants in solute carrier family 26, member 4 (SLC26A4) gene and is the second most common cause of ARNSHL worldwide.

Large Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome Causing Progressive Hearing Loss in Childhood Article
Background: Sensorineural hearing loss in adults is commonly associated with aging, trauma or autoimmune disease. In children, however, sensorineural hearing loss can also be due to genetic causes, leading to malformation of internal ear structures ...

Validating the splicing effect of rare variants in the SLC26A4 gene using minigene assay
Background The SLC26A4 gene is the second most common cause of hereditary hearing loss in human. The aim of this study was to utilize the minigene assay in order to identify pathogenic variants of SLC26A4 associated with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA)

Incorporating Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) assessment into our clinical practice [PDF]
Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency electromyographic responses evoked by intense acoustic stimuli. They are measured in the ipsilateral, tonically-contracted sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle.

IntroductionLarge vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) typically manifests fluctuating, progressive, or sudden hearing loss. Cochlear implantation (CI) is a critical intervention for LVAS patients when hearing aids (HA) no longer confer sufficient benefit.
