Study of frequency and spectrum of GJB2 gene mutations in non-syndromic hearing loss patients of Semnan province
Abstract Background and aim: The frequency of hearing impairment is one out of 500 newborn babies, worldwide. However, in Iran, due to the high prevalence of consanguineous marriages, this amount is estimated to be two to three times higher. So far, more than 120 genes causing non-syndromic Hearing loss (NSHL) have been identified in the world, of which GJB2 gene mutations are the most common c...
متن کاملRelative frequency of GJB2 gene mutations in autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) patients in Lorestan population
Background: Congenital hearing loss due to different genetic and environmental causes affects 1 in 1000 newborns. Mutations in the GJB2 (Gap Junction Beta-2) gene encoding the gap junction protein connexin 26 have been established as the main cause of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss. Materials and methods: The aim of this study was to study the frequency of GJB2 Mutations in Lor...
متن کاملEvaluation of GJB2 and GJB6 Mutations in Patients Afflicted with Non-syndromic Hearing Loss
Background Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is assumed as one of the highly prevalent congenital defects in the world. In this regard, gap junction protein beta 2(GJB2), and gap junction protein beta 6(GJB6) mutations are considered as the leading congenital causes of deafness. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of GJB2 and GJB6 mutations in NSHL cases. Materials and Methods This...
متن کاملThe worldwide frequency of MYO15A gene mutations in patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss: A meta‐analysis
MYO15A is the third most crucial gene in hereditary sensorineural hearing loss after GJB2 and SLC26A4. In the present study, we reviewed the prevalence of MYO15A mutations in patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). In this meta-analysis, we conducted a search of PubMed, Web of Science, Excerpta Medica Database, and Scopus, and identified the articles up to Septemb...
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...
