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 کاملThe Prevalence of Ear Disease in Sensorineural Hearing Impaired Children Below 18 Years-Old in Deaf Welfare Clinic of Molavi Rehabilitation Center
Objectives: Hearing impairment in children is considered as an important public health problem. Auditory function in these children is poor and depends on their hearing aids efficacy and also their ears’ status. Hearing aids are very expensive and ear disease deteriorates its performance. Therefore detecting the ear disease and offering proper treatment is necessary. The aim of this study is to...
متن کاملبررسی جهش های عامل ناشنوایی در ژن GJB2 در مبتلایان به ناشنوایی حسی-عصبی غیرسندرمی
Background: Hearing impairment as a heterogeneous disorder is the most common sensory defect that occur 1 in 1000. Mutations in GJB2 (CX26) gene at DFNB1 locus on 13q12 are responsible for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) in many populations. This study investigates the GJB2 gene mutations in deaf patients refereed to the deaf center of Tabriz. Methods: In the present ...
متن کاملTransient evoked otoacoustic emissions testing for screening of sensorineural deafness in puppies.
BACKGROUND Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) are widely used for human neonatal deafness screening, but have not been reported for clinical use in dogs. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To investigate the feasibility of TEOAE testing in conscious puppies and the ability of TEOAE testing to correctly identify deaf and hearing ears, as defined by brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER). A...
متن کاملMitochondrial gene mutation screening in hearing loss patients, Hormozgan, Iran
Introduction: Hearing loss is the most frequent sensory disorder occurs in 1/1000 newborns. About 50% of hearing loss cases are due to genetic causes. Mutation in MTRNR1(A1555G), MTTL1(A3243G) and MTTS1(A7445G) are known to be one of the important cause of nonsyndromic Sensorineural hearing loos in some populations. This study aims to demonstrate the frequency of three mitochondrial mutatio...
