Analysis of Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of a Chinese Pedigree with Autosomal Dominant Hereditary Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss
摘要
Abstract
Objective To study clinical and genetic characteristics of a large Chinese pedigree with autosomal domi-nant nonsydromic hearing loss, and to report screening results in this pedigree on common causative genes. Methods After obtaining informed consents from all participants, deafness-questionnaires were administered to collect detailed medical his-tories. Clinical presentations, otoscopy findings and pure-tone audiometry were used to rule out syndromic hearing loss. The pedigree was plotted based on the genetic and audiology characteristics of this family. A deafness-screening kit was used to screen for eight common mutations of three deafness genes (GJB2, SLC26A4 and 12S rRNA) and the whole MTDNA to ex-clude known pathogenic mutations. Results Thirty five family members were alive in this five-generations family with auto-somal-dominant hearing loss, and 10 were found to be hearing-impaired. Most of the patients showed moderate to severe pre-lingual sensorineural hearing loss affecting predominantly mid frequencies with slow progression to all frequencies. Au-diometric configurations were characterized by“U”shaped or“island”patterns. No specific causative mutations were identi-fied by screening. Conclusions Pedigree analysis in this family confirms an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, in which affected members show pre-lingual, symmetry, gradually-progressive hearing impairment. Future studies using whole-exome sequencing is planned to further explore disease-causing genes in this family.关键词
