Question
Answer
What percent of congenital deafness is genetic?   60%  
🗑
Of the genetic causes of congenital deafness, what percent is AR?   75%  
🗑
What % of genetic deafness is non-syndromic? (AR, AD)   70% AR, 30% AD  
🗑
Teratogen known to induce congenital hearing loss   hydantoin  
🗑
Prematurity and congenital deafness   hyperbilrubinemia, low birthweight, NICU, ventilation, NICU, neonatal distress (?)  
🗑
Other increased susceptabilities to congenital hearing loss   ototoxic medds, meningitis  
🗑
Congenital CMV   neurosensory hearing loss, microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, mental retardation, CP, optic atrophy, reintopathy, cataracts, microhthalmia  
🗑
Hearing loss and CMV... occurs in   <5% of pregnancies  
🗑
CMV crosses the placenta   30-40% of the time, with hearing loss occurring in 25% of these cases  
🗑
The most common cause of congenital hearing loss, accounting for about 4000 LBs annually, may be...   CMV  
🗑
Epidemiology of NSHL   AR- 80%, AD-15%, XL-5%, mt-2% (Empiric risk for single case 10%)  
🗑
AR-NSHL   usually congenital, severe to profound, 50% are of connecin 26  
🗑
Connexin 26 (DFNb1/GJB2)   13q12, 2 common mutations that account for 10% of all pre-lingual deafness, 1 allele causes dominant deafness (DFNA3)  
🗑
Connexin 26   Inner ear in the non-sensory epithelium of the Organ of Corti, potassium recycling pathway  
🗑
Connexin 26 phenotype   1. Non-syndromic, normal vision and vestibular function, non-progressive, hearing loss is mild to profound with intra- and inter-familial variability and few kindreds are progressive and asymmetric  
🗑
DFNB2/ MYO7A   11q13.5, expression only in hair cells of Organ of Corti, some mutations cause Usher Syndrome  
🗑
AD-NSHL   Usually post-lingual, progressive (onset in 2nd or 3rd decades)  
🗑
XL-NSHL   DFN3: progressive and mixed deafness with fixed stapes and perilympathetic gusher, a communication between meatus and cochlea, leads to gusher is the spates is disturbed.  
🗑
Syndromic Hearing Loss   1. Aport 2. BOR 3. Jervell and Lnage-nielson, 4. NF type 2, 5. Pendred 6. Waardenburg  
🗑
Alport syndrome   Type 4, major collagen, neurosensory hearing loss  
🗑
Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome   8q13.3, AD, inner ear malformations, renal anomalies including agenesis present  
🗑
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome   AR, profound congenital hearing loss, sudden death due to prolonged QT, high prevalence in Norway  
🗑
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome genes   KCNQ1 and KCNE2 (potassium channel genes AD or AR  
🗑
Pendred syndrome   neurosensory hearing loss with iodide tripping defect of the htyroid gland, thyroid disease may be clinically non-apparent, GOLD STANDARD: perchllorate washout, vestibular anomalies (23rd)  
🗑
Pendred syndrome genes   7q21-24, 16 diffeernt mutations described in two common genes, transporter/chloride/iodide issues  
🗑
Waardenburg syndrome   Neurosensory hearing loss, lateral displacement of inner cnathi, lacrimal punctae  
🗑
Isolated mitochondrial hearing loss   Sometimes co-segregates with skin conditions, penetrance of hearing loss is extremely ehtnic dependent (modifier genes necessary)  
🗑
Mitochondrial syndromes and hearing loss   Diabetes-hearing loss after onset of diabetes, MELAS, Presbycusis  
🗑
Hearing loss with visual problems (syndromes)   1. Usher syndrome, Wolfram, Norrie, MtDOs  
🗑
Usher syndrome   1. Association of hearing loss with reinitis pigmentosa, at least 11 loci and 2 identified  
🗑
Primary inner-ear malformations   Michel and Mondini, and also enlarged vestibular aqueduct  
🗑
Michel   complete aplasia of inner ear structure  
🗑
Mondini   1 1/2 tums of cochlea, dysplasia of apex  
🗑
Medical genetics of hearing loss stage 1   medical genetics, audiology, otolaryngology  
🗑
Medical genetics of hearing loss stage 2   vestibular, ophthalmology, CT of temporal bones, urinalysis/serum creatinine, serology  
🗑
Medical genetics of hearing loss stage 3   perchlorate discharge (if CT abnormal), DNA, electrocardiogram, electroreinogram  
🗑
Examples of gene testing for hearing loss   1. Connexin 26, Pendred syndrome, Stickler syndrome  
🗑
