Genetics of deafness: recent advances and clinical implications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genetic research into the causes of deafness has advanced considerably in the last years. Progress has been made in both discovering loci and cloning genes associated with syndromic and non-syndromic hearing loss. To date, close to 75 loci have been identified and 29 genes have been cloned for non-syndromic deafness. The proteins these genes encode range from transcription factors to molecular motors to ion channels. We review the recent discoveries and discuss the impact of this research.

Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease- A Clinical Viewpoint
Recent developments in medicine have given us a better insight into a group of disorders known as autoimmune diseases. In particular, advances have occurred in our understanding of the Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED). In this article, the authors review the different postulated theories in the pathogenesis of this disease. The clinical presentation, the available para-clinical diagnostic to...
متن کاملInherited deafness in childhood--the genetic revolution unmasks the clinical challenge.
Approximately one child per 1000 is diagnosed with severe, profound, or early onset hearing impairment, of whom approximately 50% are thought to have a genetic cause. 2 Associated clinical findings, if present and recognised neonatally, often facilitate the identification of a syndrome and the prediction that a hearing problem is likely to be part of the clinical profile. While the presence of ...
متن کاملON THE FUZZY SET THEORY AND AGGREGATION FUNCTIONS: HISTORY AND SOME RECENT ADVANCES
Several fuzzy connectives, including those proposed by Lotfi Zadeh, can be seen as linear extensions of the Boolean connectives from the scale ${0,1}$ into the scale $[0,1]$. We discuss these extensions, in particular, we focus on the dualities arising from the Boolean dualities. These dualities allow to transfer the results from some particular class of extended Boolean functions, e.g., from c...

متن کاملA review of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness.
Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD), a mitochondrial disease first described in 1992, results from the mitochondrial DNA mutation and affects up to 1% of the patients with diabetes. This review discusses the biomedical mechanisms of MIDD patients; summarizes the recent improvement of clinical and genetic diagnosis of MIDD; outlines the advances of the clinical management of these ...
