Assessment of Hearing Defect in Oral Submucous Fibrosis: A Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Orofacial Sciences
Introduction: This study was designed to assess the hearing defect in oral submucous fibrosis and compare the hearing defect in different stages of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and also the hearing defect in the control group.

Mitochondrial Transplantation as a Therapeutic Strategy for Inherited Mitochondrial Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) offers a promising therapeutic avenue for mitochondrial diseases. This review comprehensively evaluates MTx, differentiating its feasibility for mtDNA‐ and nDNA‐based disorders. It examines its potential for genetic correction, alongside inherent limitations, technical challenges, and crucial ethical considerations ...

Vitamin D Deficiency as a Risk Factor for Onset and Recurrence of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Prospective Cohort Study With Age-Specific Analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesFood Sci Nutr
Pure‐tone audiometry (0–120 dB HL) identified patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D levels revealed deficient (< 20 ng/mL), insufficient (20–30 ng/mL), or sufficient (≥ 30 ng/mL) status. Novel findings demonstrate low vitamin D correlates with higher SSNHL onset/recurrence, particularly elevating risk in ...

Non‐RASopathy Genetic Syndromes Identified as the Molecular Cause of Disease in Patients Previously Diagnosed With Noonan Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noonan Syndrome (NS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by typical facial dysmorphisms, short stature, congenital heart defects, and developmental delays. While variants in genes such as PTPN11, SOS1, and RAF1 account for most genetically confirmed cases, diagnosis is challenging due to phenotypic overlap ...

Identification of a Novel Likely Pathogenic Variant of DIAPH3 Associated With New Phenotype of Sensorineural Hearing Loss. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Genet Genomic Med
In this Chinese family with hereditary deafness, we identified a novel DIAPH3 point variant (NM_001042517.2:c.1472A>G). This variant manifests as late‐onset progressive sensorineural hearing loss, with congruent pure‐tone audiometry (PTA) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds.

Clinical Presentation of the Longest Reported Living Individual With Bent Bone Dysplasia—FGFR2‐Related

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The FGFR2 gene, encoding the FGFR2 protein, plays a crucial role in embryonic cell development, particularly in bone tissue. Bent Bone Dysplasia (BBD), FGFR2‐related (MIM# 614592), is a rare severe skeletal dysplasia characterized by craniofacial differences, reduced bone mineral density, and bowed long bones.

Antioxidants and Vasodilators for the Treatment of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: Are They Really Effective?

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
We live in a world continuously immersed in noise, an environmental, recreational, and occupational factor present in almost every daily human activity. Exposure to high-level noise could affect the auditory function of individuals at any age, resulting ...

GATA3 Deletion Associated With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum of Hypoparathyroidism, Sensorineural Deafness, and Renal Dysplasia (HDR) Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome is caused by pathogenic variants in the GATA3 gene located on chromosome 10p14. Here we present a 10‐year‐old girl with HDR syndrome who also has oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Genotypes and Phenotypes of Patients With TSPEAR‐Related Disorder: Evidence of a Predominant Dental Phenotype

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TSPEAR (chr. 21q22.3) encodes a protein involved in tooth development and is predominantly expressed in the enamel knot. Biallelic loss of function variants in TSPEAR cause ectodermal dysplasia, tooth agenesis and sensorineural hearing loss. However, the role of TSPEAR in auditory processes is unclear.
