Generation of a gene corrected human isogenic iPSC line (CPGHi002-A-1) from a DDOD patient with heterozygous c.1516 C>T mutation in the ATP6V1B2 gene

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2021
Dominant deafness-onychodystrophy (DDOD) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in ATP6V1B2 gene. We previously generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (CPGHi002-A) from a DDOD patient with a heterozygous c.1516

Automatic Recognition of Auditory Brainstem Response Characteristic Waveform Based on Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing is an invasive electrophysiological auditory function test. Its waveforms and threshold can reflect auditory functional changes in the auditory centers in the brainstem and are widely used in the ...

Degeneration of saccular hair cells caused by MITF gene mutation

open access: yesNeural Development, 2019
Background Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is the consequence of an inherited autosomal dominant mutation which causes the early degeneration of intermediate cells of cochlear stria vascularis (SV) and profound hearing loss.

Key Genes and Pathways Associated With Inner Ear Malformation in SOX10 p.R109W Mutation Pigs

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
SRY-box 10 (SOX10) mutation may lead to inner ear deformities. However, its molecular mechanisms on inner ear development are not clear. In this work, the inner ear morphology was investigated at different embryonic stages of the SOX10 mutation miniature

A hypothesis study on bionic active noise reduction of auditory organs

open access: yesMilitary Medical Research, 2018
Background Noise exposure can lead to hearing loss and multiple system dysfunctions. As various forms of noise exist in our living environments, and our auditory organs are very sensitive to acoustic stimuli, it is a challenge to protect our hearing ...

Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (CPGHi001-A) from a hearing loss patient with the TMC1 p.M418K mutation

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2020
By using a nonintegrating plasmid delivery system, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from the urine cells of a male patient from the family carrying the TMC1 p.M418K mutation. This mutation is homologous to that in Beethoven mice, which

Gender-specific associations of vision and hearing impairments with adverse health outcomes in older Japanese: a population-based cohort study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Several epidemiological studies have shown that self-reported vision and hearing impairments are associated with adverse health outcomes (AHOs) in older populations; however, few studies have used objective sensory measurements or ...
