Differences in the pathogenicity of the p.H723R mutation of the common deafness-associated SLC26A4 gene in humans and mice. [PDF]
Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene are a common cause of human hereditary hearing impairment worldwide. Previous studies have demonstrated that different SLC26A4 mutations have different pathogenetic mechanisms.

Bilateral Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct: Auditory, Genetic and Radiological Characterization, and Benefits of Cochlear Implants. [PDF]
Abstract Objective The study aimed to describe the auditory phenotype of patients with bilateral enlarged vestibular aqueduct, including benefits of cochlear implantation, and to look for genotype‐phenotype correlation. Study Design Retrospective single‐center study. Setting Tertiary adult reference center.

Background Mutations in SLC26A4 cause Pendred syndrome (hearing loss with goiter) or DFNB4 (non-syndromic hearing loss with inner ear malformation, such as enlarged vestibular aqueduct or Mondini deformity).

Digenic inheritance of mutations in EPHA2 and SLC26A4 in Pendred syndrome
While biallelic mutations of the SLC26A4 gene cause non-syndromic hearing loss with enlarged vestibular aqueducts or Pendred syndrome, a considerable number of patients carry mono-allelic mutations.

Establishment of a knock-in mouse model with the SLC26A4 c.919-2A>G mutation and characterization of its pathology. [PDF]
Recessive mutations in the SLC26A4 gene are a common cause of hereditary hearing impairment worldwide. Previous studies have demonstrated that different SLC26A4 mutations may have different pathogenetic mechanisms.

Genetic Factors That Might Lead to Different Responses in Individuals Exposed to Perchlorate [PDF]
Perchlorate has been detected in groundwater in many parts of the United States, and recent detection in vegetable and dairy food products indicates that contamination by perchlorate is more widespread than previously thought.

Molecular analysis of the GJB2, GJB6 and SLC26A4 genes in Korean deafness patients [PDF]
Mutations in the GJB2, GJB6 and SLC26A4 genes are a frequent cause of hearing loss in a number of populations. However, little is known about the genetic causes of hearing loss in the Korean population.We sequenced the GJB2 and GJB6 genes to examine the role of mutations in these genes in 22 hearing loss patients.

Caratterizzazione della mutazione SLC26A4 c.918+2T>C e report di una nuova variante potenzialmente a rischio [PDF]
La sindrome di Pendred è, in ordine di frequenza, la seconda causa di ipoacusia su base genetica autosomica recessiva. Si manifesta con un ipoacusia accompagnata dalla presenza di un gozzo tiroideo con eventuale ipotiroidismo.
