A Novel SLC26A4 (PDS) Deafness Mutation Retained in the Endoplasmic Reticulum [PDF]
To identify mutations in the SLC26A4 gene in individuals with nonsyndromic hearing loss and enlarged vestibular aqueduct, to design a predicted model of the pendrin protein, and to characterize novel mutations by means of localization in mammalian cells and effect of the mutation on the predicted model.Validation of the mutation by its exclusion in ...

Treating Hearing Loss: From Cochlear Implantation to Gene Therapy
Cochlear implantation is the primary treatment for deafness, restoring functional hearing in over a million people. Recently, gene therapy has enabled biological hearing restoration in a small number of patients with OTOF‐related mutations. This perspective evaluates both approaches, concluding that cochlear implants will remain the standard for most ...

The Diverse Genetic Landscape of Hearing Impairment in South African Families
South African Families with Nonsyndromic (N = 24) and Syndromic Hearing Impairment (N = 21) with ≥ 2 affected members were analyzed. The underlying etiology was uncovered using exome and Sanger sequencing for 31 of these families. ABSTRACT To elucidate the genetic etiology of hearing impairment (HI) in South Africa, 45 nonsyndromic HI (NSHI) and ...
