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

Diagnosis of Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Using Wideband Tympanometry. [PDF]
Background: Wideband tympanometry (WBT) has the potential to distinguish various mechanical middle ear and inner ear pathologies noninvasively. This study investigated the diagnostic value of WBT in the diagnosis of enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA). Methods: The absorbance and resonance frequency (RF) of patients with EVA (40 ears, 25 patients) and ...

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).

A New Genetic Diagnostic for Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Based on Next-Generation Sequencing. [PDF]
Enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) is one of the most common congenital inner ear malformations and accounts for 1-12% of sensorineural deafness in children and adolescents. Multiple genetic defects contribute to EVA; therefore, early molecular diagnosis

Two Compound Heterozygous Were Identified in Gene in Two Chinese Families With Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct [PDF]
Objectives To investigate the genetic causes of hearing loss with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) in two children from unrelated two Chinese families. Methods Sanger sequencing of all coding exons in SLC26A4 (encoding Pendrin protein) was performed on

Can MRI biomarkers for hearing loss in enlarged vestibular aqueduct be measured reproducibly? [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Morphological features of an enlarged endolymphatic duct (ED) and sac (ES) are imaging biomarkers for genotype and hearing loss phenotype. We determine which biomarkers can be measured in a reproducible manner, facilitating further clinical ...
