This article reviews the current role of genetics in pediatric hearing loss (HL).
A review of the current literature regarding the genetic basis of HL in children was performed.
To date, 119 nonsyndromic genes have been associated with HL. There are also hundreds of syndromic causes that have HL as part of the clinical phenotype.
Identifying HL genes coupled with clinical characteristics ("genotype-phenotype") yields a more accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Although the complexity of the auditory apparatus presents challenges, gene therapy is emerging and may be a viable management option in the future.
本文综述了遗传学在儿童听力损失(HL)中的当前作用。
对有关儿童HL遗传基础的当前文献进行了综述。
迄今为止,已有119个非综合征性基因与HL相关。还有数百种综合征性病因,其临床表型包括HL。
识别HL基因并结合临床特征(“基因型-表型”)可实现更准确的诊断和预后评估。尽管听觉器官的复杂性带来了挑战,但基因治疗正在兴起,未来可能是一种可行的治疗选择。
