The HSP70 co-chaperone DNAJC14 targets misfolded pendrin for unconventional protein secretion
Mutations in pendrin, a plasma membrane transporter, lead to Pendred syndrome, which is associated with hearing loss. Here, Jung et al. show that cell-surface expression of a mutated form of pendrin can be restored by blocking ER-to-Golgi traffic and ...

Asymmetric pendrin homodimer reveals its molecular mechanism as anion exchanger
Pendrin (SLC26A4) is an anion exchanger expressed in the apical membranes of selected epithelia. Pendrin ablation causes Pendred syndrome, a genetic disorder associated with sensorineural hearing loss, hypothyroid goiter, and reduced blood pressure ...

Pendred syndrome--100 years of underascertainment?
Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition classically characterized by deafness and goitre. Since both cochlear and thyroid pathology are required to secure the diagnosis, it is unclear whether the condition might present without the classical

Endocrine glands and hearing: Auditory manifestations of various endocrine and metabolic conditions
The aetiology of hearing loss in humans is multifactorial. Besides genetic, environmental and infectious causes, several endocrine and metabolic abnormalities are associated with varying degrees of hearing impairment.

Comprehensive analysis of syndromic hearing loss patients in Japan
More than 400 syndromes associated with hearing loss and other symptoms have been described, corresponding to 30% of cases of hereditary hearing loss. In this study we aimed to clarify the mutation spectrum of syndromic hearing loss patients in Japan by ...
