molecular pathology of 6 novel gjb2 allelic variants detected in familial and sporadic iranian non syndromic hearing loss cases

چکیده
background: mutations of gjb2 gene encoding connexion 26 are the most common cause of hearing loss in many populations. a very wide spectrum of gjb2 gene mutations associated with hearing loss have been detected but pathogenic role has been tested only for a part of them. in this study, we have provided genetic evidence on the pathogenicity of our previously reported novel gjb2 allelic variants. methods: the pathogenic role of gjb2 allelic variants were assessed using co segregation of each allelic variant with hearing loss in family members, absence of the allelic variants in control populations, coexistence with a second gjb2 mutation, nature of the amino acid substitution and evolutionary conservation of the appropriate amino acid. results: the gjb2 allelic variants including 363delc, 327delgginsa, h16r and g200r have been co segregated with autosomal recessive non syndromic hearing loss in five families and are not found in control subjects. the g130v and k102q were found in heterozygous state in two deaf individuals. g130v results in an exchange a residue highly conserved among all the connexins but was found with a rate of 1% in control subjects and k102q results in an exchange a residue not conserved among all the connexins and not identified in control subjects. conclusion: we conclude that, 363delc, 327delgginsa, h16r and g200r may be pathogenic. however, the pathogenicity and inheritance of k102q and g130v can not be assessed clearly and remains to be identified.

Evaluation 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 کاملStudy 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 کاملRelative Frequency of 35delG Mutation in GJB2 Gene in Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (ARNSHL) Patients in Kerman Population
Congenital hearing loss with many 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. The aim of this study was to study the frequency of one mutation (35delG) of GJB2 gene in Kerman non-syndromic deaf p...
متن کاملNovel Loci for Non-Syndromic Coarctation of the Aorta in Sporadic and Familial Cases
BACKGROUND Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for 5-8% of all congenital heart defects. CoA can be detected in up to 20% of patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS), in which a part or all of one of the X chromosomes is absent. The etiology of non-syndromic CoA is poorly understood. In the present work, we test the hypothesis that rare copy number variation (CNV) especially on the gonos...
متن کاملMutation Analysis of GJB2 and GJB6 Genes and the Genetic Linkage Analysis of Five Common DFNB Loci in the Iranian Families with Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss
The incidence of pre-lingual hearing loss (HL) is about 1 in 1000 neonates. More than 60% of cases are inherited. Non-syndromic HL (NSHL) is extremely heterogeneous: more than 130 loci have been identified so far. The most common form of NSHL is the autosomal recessive form (ARNSHL). In this study, a cohort of 36 big ARNSHL pedigrees with 4 or more patients from 7 provinces of Iran was investig...
