The gene for an inherited form of deafness maps to chromosome 5q31.

چکیده
Primary--i.e., nonsyndromal-postlingual deafness is inherited as an autosomal dominant phenotype in a large kindred in Costa Rica. Genetically susceptible individuals begin to lose hearing at low frequencies at about age 10 years, after language and speaking are learned. Deafness inevitably progresses by age 30 years to bilateral hearing loss of all frequencies. Intelligence, fertility, and life expectancy are normal. The family traces its ancestry to an affected founder born in Costa Rica in 1754. We have mapped the gene for deafness in this kindred to chromosome 5q31, between the markers IL9 and GRL, by linkage analysis involving 99 informative relatives.

Mutation in transcription factor POU4F3 associated with inherited progressive hearing loss in humans.
The molecular basis for autosomal dominant progressive nonsyndromic hearing loss in an Israeli Jewish family, Family H, has been determined. Linkage analysis placed this deafness locus, DFNA15, on chromosome 5q31. The human homolog of mouse Pou4f3, a member of the POU-domain family of transcription factors whose targeted inactivation causes profound deafness in mice, was physically mapped to th...

Introduction & Objective : Hearing loss is the most prevalent form of sensory impairment in humans, affecting approximately one in 1000 infants. In more than half of the cases, the deafness is inherited, and about 80% of hereditary deafness transmitted by autosomal recessive pattern. In hereditary congenital deafness, numerous mutations in GJB2 make the largest fractional contribution in many w...
متن کاملMicrocephaly, Deafness, and Renal Dysplasia: A Case of Barakat Syndrome
Background: Barakat syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal disease, collectively known as HDR syndrome. This disease is caused by the mutation of GATA3 gene located on chromosome 10p15. GATA3 is involved in the embryonic development of kidneys, inner ears, parathyroid glands, and central nervous systems.Case report: ...
متن کاملA novel locus for autosomal dominant non-syndromic deafness (DFNA41) maps to chromosome 12q24-qter.
We have studied 36 subjects in a large multigenerational Chinese family that is segregating for an autosomal dominant adult onset form of progressive non-syndromic hearing loss. All affected subjects had bilateral sensorineural hearing loss involving all frequencies with some significant gender differences in initial presentation. After excluding linkage to known loci for non-syndromic deafness...
متن کاملTJP2 Gene Mutation c.G1012A May Responsible for Congenital Hearing Loss with Incomplete Penetrance in An Iranian Pedigree
Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) comprises half of the congenital deafness which arises from genetic mutations. Mutations in the TJP2 gene, encoding tight junction protein 2, are one of the gene alterations in HHL resulting in an autosomal dominant nonsyndromic form of the disease. An 11-year-old male patient with clinically approved congenital hearing loss was referred to our laboratory....
