Variants in CDH23 cause a broad spectrum of hearing loss: from non-syndromic to syndromic hearing loss as well as from congenital to age-related hearing loss

Shin-ichi Usami et al.

Summary: Variants in the CDH23 gene are an important cause of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss, resulting in a broad range of phenotypes, from congenital profound hearing loss to late-onset high-frequency-involved progressive hearing loss.

Genetic insights, disease mechanisms, and biological therapeutics for Waardenburg syndrome

Sida Huang et al.

Summary: Waardenburg syndrome is the most common cause of syndromic hearing loss, affecting 2-5% of those with congenital hearing loss. There is currently no cure for WS, but genetic studies and stem cell therapies have shown progress in research for potential treatments in the future.

There Is More Than Meets the Eye: Identification of Dual Molecular Diagnosis in Patients Affected by Hearing Loss

Anna Morgan et al.

Summary: Hearing loss is the most common sensory impairment with high clinical/genetic heterogeneity. Through whole-exome sequencing, dual molecular diagnoses were identified in families with both non-syndromic and syndromic HL. This study highlights the prevalence of dual molecular diagnoses in HL patients, emphasizing the importance of considering them in cases with unexpected clinical manifestations or significant intra-familial variability.

New insights into Perrault syndrome, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder

Rabia Faridi et al.

Summary: Perrault syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by bilateral childhood sensorineural hearing loss and ovarian dysfunction in females. While eight genes associated with Perrault syndrome have been identified, approximately half of individuals with the clinical features do not have known genetic variants, necessitating further research.

Extended genetic diagnostics for children with profound sensorineural hearing loss by implementing massive parallel sequencing. Diagnostic outcome, family experience and clinical implementation

Johanna Elander et al.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic outcomes and family experience of children with profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) who underwent genetic sequencing. The study found that whole exome sequencing and XON-array had a high diagnostic yield and provided guidance for further examinations and habilitation. The study also highlighted the importance of informing parents about the genetic test results and the need for collaboration between different departments.

ARNSHL gene identification: past, present and future

Ayesha Imtiaz

Summary: Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is a common hereditary deafness with high genetic heterogeneity. The molecular basis of ARNSHL is still unresolved in many cases, and techniques used to identify gene mutations vary. Various methods including homozygosity mapping, linkage studies, candidate gene approach, and position-independent approaches have been used to identify the gene mutations associated with ARNSHL.

Natural human knockouts and Mendelian disorders: deep phenotyping in Italian isolates

Beatrice Spedicati et al.

Summary: Whole genome sequencing can identify human knockouts with disrupted gene function, which are valuable for understanding genetic consequences. Studying these knockouts in genetic isolates can provide insights into expected and unexpected phenotypes associated with loss of function variants.

Audiologic Phenotype and Progression in Pediatric STRC-Related Autosomal Recessive Hearing Loss

Andrea Simi et al.

Summary: This study investigated phenotypic presentation and incidence of audiologic progression in pediatric patients with STRC-related hearing loss. Patients had bilateral, symmetric SNHL ranging from mild to moderate-severe at baseline, with approximately 58% showing some degree of progressive HL. The variability of STRC phenotype and possible audiologic progression should be considered in clinical management of pediatric STRC-related SNHL.

Haploinsufficiency of SF3B2 causes craniofacial microsomia

Andrew T. Timberlake et al.

Summary: Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is the second most common congenital facial anomaly, with loss of function variants in SF3B2 identified as a significant genetic cause in the study. The findings suggest a link between SF3B2 mutations, impaired neural crest development, and the development of CFM.
