Targeted Carrier Screening for Thalassemia, Hereditary Deafness, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Feasible Approach for Preventing Birth Defects in China's Community Healthcare System. [PDF]
Current carrier screening primarily focuses on high detection rates and broad testing ranges. We approach the issue from the perspective of a community physician, evaluating the suitability of carrier screening based on factors such as cost, ease of report interpretation, and compliance issues.

Lack of significant association between mutations of KCNJ10 or FOXI1 and SLC26A4 mutations in pendred syndrome/enlarged vestibular aqueducts [PDF]
Pendred syndrome is a common autosomal recessive disorder causing deafness. Features include sensorineural hearing impairment, goitre, enlarged vestibular aqueducts (EVA) and occasionally Mondini dysplasia.

Two Compound Heterozygous Were Identified in SLC26A4 Gene in Two Chinese Families With Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct. [PDF]
To investigate the genetic causes of hearing loss with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) in two children from unrelated two Chinese families.Sanger sequencing of all coding exons in SLC26A4 (encoding Pendrin protein) was performed on the two patients, their sibling and parents respectively.

A rare novel mutation in TECTA causes autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss in a Mongolian family [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The genetic basis of autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss is complex. Genetic factors are responsible for approximately 50% of cases with congenital hearing loss. However, no previous studies have documented the clinical phenotype and

Association of intronic repetition of SLC26A4 gene with Hashimoto thyroiditis disease
SummaryIntronic microsatellites repeats were implicated in the pathogenic mechanisms of several diseases. SLC26A4 gene, involved in the genetic susceptibility of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), harbours large non-coding introns. Using the tandem repeat finder (TRF) Software, two new polymorphic microsatellite markers, rs59736472 and rs57250751 ...
