The aim of this study is to evaluate the auditory phenotype in subjects with OTOF gene mutations to describe genotype-phenotype correlations.
Twenty-two affected members from three families with homozygous OTOF mutations were included. Nine subjects were evaluated audiologically with otoscopic examination, pure-tone audiometry, tympanometry with acoustic reflex testing, auditory brain stem responses, and otoacoustic emission tests.
Homozygous c.4718T>C (p.Ile1573Thr) mutation was associated with the auditory neuropathy/auditory dys-synchrony (AN/AD) phenotype and with progressive sensorineural hearing loss in four siblings in one family, while homozygous c.4467dupC (p.I1490HfsX19) was associated with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss without AN/AD in four relatives in another family. Homozygous c.1958delC (p.Pro653LeufsX13) mutation was associated with moderate sensorineural hearing loss without AN/AD in one affected person in an additional family.
The audiological phenotype associated with different OTOF mutations appears to be consistently different suggesting the presence of a genotype-phenotype correlation.
本研究旨在评估携带OTOF基因突变的受试者的听觉表型,以描述基因型与表型的相关性。
纳入来自三个携带纯合OTOF突变家族的22名受影响成员。对9名受试者进行了耳镜检查、纯音听力测定、声反射鼓室图测试、听觉脑干反应测试和耳声发射测试等听力学评估。
纯合c.4718T>C(p.Ile1573Thr)突变与一个家族中4名兄弟姐妹的听觉神经病/听觉不同步(AN/AD)表型及进行性感音神经性听力损失相关,而纯合c.4467dupC(p.I1490HfsX19)与另一个家族中4名亲属的重度至极重度感音神经性听力损失且无AN/AD相关。纯合c.1958delC(p.Pro653LeufsX13)突变与另一个家族中一名受影响者的中度感音神经性听力损失且无AN/AD相关。
与不同OTOF突变相关的听力学表型似乎始终不同,提示存在基因型与表型的相关性。
