The DFNB1 subtype of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment.
Inherited hearing impairment is a frequent and highly heterogeneous condition. Among the different subtypes of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment, DFNB1 is remarkable for its high frequency in most populations. It is caused by mutations in the coding region or splice-sites of the GJB2 gene, or by mutations affecting regulatory sequences that are essential for the expression of...
متن کاملMutation of COL11A2 causes autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss at the DFNB53 locus.
BACKGROUND Allele variants of COL11A2, encoding collagen type XI alpha2, cause autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) at the DFNA13 locus (MIM 601868) and various syndromes that include a deafness phenotype. OBJECTIVE To describe a genome-wide scan carried out on a consanguineous Iranian family segregating ARNSHL. RESULTS Genotyping data identified a novel locus for ARNSHL o...
متن کاملInvestigation of LRTOMT gene (locus DFNB63) mutations in Iranian patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss
Hearing loss (HL) is the most frequent sensory defect affecting 1 in 1000 neonates. This can occur due to genetic or environmental causes or both. The genetic causes are very heterogenous and over 100 loci have been identified to cause autosomal recessive non - syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of the LRTOMT gene mutations in causing ARNSHL...
متن کاملInvestigating Seven Recently Identified Genes in 100 Iranian Families with Autosomal Recessive Non-syndromic Hearing Loss
Objectives: Hearing loss (HL) is the most common sensory disorder, and affects 1 in 1000 newborns. About 50% of HL is due to genetics and 70% of them are non-syndromic with a recessive pattern of inheritance. Up to now, more than 50 genes have been detected which are responsible for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss, (ARNSHL). In Iran, HL is one of the most common disabilitie...
متن کاملConnexin 26 and autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss
It has long been recognized that heredity plays a major role in hearing impairment. Although the facts about the genetic basis of hearing loss have fascinated both clinicians and geneticists for a long time, it is only within the last few years that the genes and molecular mechanisms underlying deafness have begun to be discovered. There is a great deal of genetic heterogeneity in deafness. Thi...
