ABSTRACT Background Certain blood components, including blood lipids, coagulation parameters, and homocysteine, have been suggested to correlate with the incidence and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). However, the nature of these associations remains controversial.

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Discovery of PHB1 as a Novel Candidate Gene in Dominant Optic Atrophy
A heterozygous PHB1 missense variant (p.Ser147Phe) segregates with autosomal dominant optic atrophy in a multi‐generation family. Structural and cellular analyses suggest altered mitochondrial dynamics, identifying PHB1 as a novel candidate gene for hereditary optic neuropathy. ABSTRACT Hereditary optic neuropathies comprise a genetically heterogeneous

FIG4 is essential for lysosomal homeostasis. FIG4‐related disorders present as a continuous spectrum from the juvenile lethality in Yunis‐Varon syndrome to an increased risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in adult life. FIG4‐related disorders comprise a novel group of disorders of lysosomal homeostasis and can be classified into severe ...

The Burden: Hearing loss (HL) is the most prevalent sensory disorder globally, affecting 1.5 million individuals in Brazil. The Gap: While > 150 genes are linked to HL, the genetic architecture in underrepresented populations like Brazil is poorly defined. The Problem: This lack of data limits diagnostic yield and the application of precision medicine.

We describe a previously unreported phenotype related to postzygotic ACTB variants with hypomelanosis of Ito, characterized by hypopigmentation associated or not with neurodevelopmental features, distinct from Becker presentations, bridging constitutional neurodevelopmental and somatic cutaneous phenotypes.

USP34 Haploinsufficiency as a Cause of Neurodevelopmental Phenotypes
Heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in USP34 cause a novel neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, speech impairment, autism, hypotonia, craniofacial dysmorphism, and distal limb anomalies. Disrupted Wnt/β‐catenin signaling via reduced Axin stabilization refines gene‐specific contributions within 2p15p16.1 ...

Cousin Syndrome Due to TBX15 Gene Variants: Three Novel Cases and Review of the Literature
Cousin syndrome (MIM#260660) is a rare recognizable genetic disorder characterized by short stature, pelvi‐scapular dysplasia, and craniofacial dysmorphism due to biallelic pathogenic variants in the TBX15 gene. ABSTRACT Cousin syndrome (MIM#260660) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, pelvi‐scapular dysplasia and craniofacial ...

Opticus atrophy—Genetic testing with WES/WGS in 62 patients with optic atrophy provided a genetic diagnosis in 21 patients (33.9%). 42.9% of these involved non‐OPA1 genes, including WFS1, ACO2, NR2F1, UCHL1, CACNA1F, and COQ2, where the genetic diagnosis prompted additional clinical evaluation, surveillance, or therapeutic intervention.
