Mitochondrial 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...
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...
متن کاملSuccessful cochlear implantation in a patient with mitochondrial hearing loss and m.625G>A transition.
OBJECTIVE We present a patient with mitochondrial hearing loss and a novel mitochondrial DNA transition, who underwent successful cochlear implantation. CASE REPORT An 11-year-old girl showed epilepsy and progressive hearing loss. Despite the use of hearing aids, she gradually lost her remaining hearing ability. Laboratory data revealed elevated lactate levels, indicating mitochondrial dysfun...
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 کاملMitochondrial dysfunction in hearing loss.
Mitochondrial pathology plays an important role in both inherited and acquired hearing loss. Inherited mitochondrial DNA mutations have been implicated in both syndromic and non-syndromic hearing loss, as well as in predisposition to aminoglycoside ototoxicity. Acquired mitochondrial dysfunction in the absence of mitochondrial DNA mutations has also been proposed as playing an important role in...
