Editorial: Deafness and Goiter: Molecular Genetic Considerations
Profound deafness is one of the most striking features of certain congenital thyroid diseases. In addition, lesser defects in auditory function, albeit of uncertain incidence and severity, have been described in acquired thyroid disorders in later life. Numerous reports in the medical literature have indicated a link between the function of the thyroid gland and the development and possibly the...
متن کاملApplication of Next Generation Sequencing Upon the Molecular Genetic Diagnosis of Deafness
The main objective of this review is to describe the new sequencing technologies called next generation sequencing (NGS) and its utility as a molecular genetic diagnosis tool in a medical field. Sanger method has dominated the genome sequencing industry for the past 30 years since its invention in 1975. It produced first human genome and still remains the gold standard for genome sequencing. Ho...
متن کاملPediatric otolaryngologists' knowledge and understanding of genetic testing for deafness.
OBJECTIVE To assess the level of a cohort of pediatric otolaryngologists' knowledge and understanding of genetics and genetic testing for deafness and hard of hearing (D/HOH). METHODS A questionnaire was designed to assess the level of knowledge and understanding of the genetic basis and genetic testing for deafness among a cohort of pediatric otolaryngologists. Three hundred questionnaires w...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Lipoid Adrenal Hyperplasia (CLAH) by Molecular Genetic Testing in Korean Siblings
Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH) is caused by mutations to the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) gene associated with the inability to synthesize all adrenal and gonadal steroids. Inadequate treatment in an infant with this condition may result in sudden death from an adrenal crisis. We report a case in which CLAH developed in Korean siblings; the second child was prenat...
متن کاملMolecular diagnosis of Mycoplasma spp. Arthritis by PCR
Background: Arthritis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases worldwide. It is characterized by symptoms such as systemic inflammation and autoantibody production. The molecular mechanisms in pathogenesis of arthritis are not fully understood. Studies show that many microorganisms, including Mycoplasmas, play a role in arthritis. The PCR method is a fast and accurate molecular method fo...
