The association of genetic polymorphisms in protocadherin 15 with sudden sensorineural hearing loss in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a multifactorial disease, and its etiology is still unknown. SSNHL may be caused by environmental factors and genetic changes. PCDH15 is associated with susceptibility to hearing loss. The relationship between PCDH15 and SSNHL remains unknown.

Methods

In this study, the potential association between PCDH15 polymorphism and SSNHL in Chinese population was evaluated. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms PCDH15-rs7095441 and rs11004085 in 195 SSNHL patients and 182 healthy controls were determined by TaqMan technology.

Results

In Chinese population, the TT genotype and T allele of rs7095441 are associated with increased susceptibility to SSNHL. The relationships between rs7095441 and the degree of hearing loss were analyzed, and TT genotype increased the risk of hearing loss. Among SSNHL patients, patients with TT genotype of rs7095441 have an increased risk of vertigo.

Conclusion

This study found that the TT genotype of SNP rs7095441 can increase the risk of SSNHL in Chinese population.

Project description:IntroductionTo compare inpatient treated patients with idiopathic (ISSNHL) and non-idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (NISSNHL) regarding frequency, hearing loss, treatment and outcome.MethodsAll 574 inpatient patients (51% male, median age: 60 years) with ISSNHL and NISSNHL, who were treated in federal state Thuringia in 2011 and 2012, were included retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed.ResultsISSNHL was diagnosed in 490 patients (85%), NISSNHL in 84 patients (15%). 49% of these cases had hearing loss due to acute otitis media, 37% through varicella-zoster infection or Lyme disease, 10% through Menière disease and 7% due to other reasons. Patients with ISSNHL and NISSNHL showed no difference between age, gender, side of hearing loss, presence of tinnitus or vertigo and their comorbidities. 45% of patients with ISSNHL and 62% with NISSNHL had an outpatient treatment prior to inpatient treatment (p < 0.001). The mean interval between onset of hearing loss to inpatient treatment was shorter in ISSNHL (7.7 days) than in NISSNHL (8.9 days; p = 0.02). The initial hearing loss of the three most affected frequencies in pure-tone average (3PTAmax) scaled 72.9 dBHL ± 31.3 dBHL in ISSNHL and 67.4 dBHL ± 30.5 dBHL in NISSNHL. In the case of acute otitis media, 3PTAmax (59.7 dBHL ± 24.6 dBHL) was lower than in the case of varicella-zoster infection or Lyme disease (80.11 dBHL ± 34.19 dBHL; p = 0.015). Mean absolute hearing gain (Δ3PTAmaxabs) was 8.1 dB ± 18.8 dB in patients with ISSNHL, and not different in NISSNHL patients with 10.2 dB ± 17.6 dB. A Δ3PTAmaxabs ≥ 10 dB was reached in 34.3% of the patients with ISSNHL and to a significantly higher rate of 48.8% in NISSNHL patients (p = 0.011).ConclusionsISSNHL and NISSNHL show no relevant baseline differences. ISSNHL tends to have a higher initial hearing loss. NISSHNL shows a better outcome than ISSNHL.

Project description:ImportancePatients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) often experience permanent hearing impairment, which could result in psychological perturbations. However, the relationship between ISSNHL and affective disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, has not been fully evaluated.ObjectiveTo investigate the potential relationship between ISSNHL and affective disorders using nationwide representative cohort sample data.Design, setting, and participantsThis study used a nationwide propensity score-matched cohort sample from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database from 2002 through 2013, which comprises data from approximately 1 million patients. The study included 1425 patients with ISSNHL and 7125 individuals without ISSNHL who were matched using propensity score matching, according to sociodemographic factors and enrollment year.Main outcomes and measuresSurvival analysis, the log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate the incidence, survival rate, and hazard ratio (HR) of developing affective disorders (anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder) for each group.ResultsOf the total study population of 8550 (51.5% female), 961 developed affective disorders during the 11-year follow-up: 225 in the ISSNHL group (15.8%) and 736 in the comparison group (10.3%). We examined a total of 96 885.5 person-years (81 177.4 person-years in the comparison group and 15 708.1 person-years in the ISSNHL group). The incidence of affective disorders was 14.3 per 1000 person-years in the ISSNHL group and 9.1 per 1000 person-years in the comparison group. After adjustment for other factors, individuals with ISSNHL developed affective disorders more frequently than those in the comparison group (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.30-1.75). Among the affective disorders, the HR of developing depression (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.44-1.91) and anxiety disorder (HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.56-2.05) but not bipolar disorder (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.54-1.70), was significantly greater in patients with ISSNHL.Conclusions and relevanceThis cohort study suggests that ISSNHL is associated with an increased incidence of affective disorders, specifically depression and anxiety. Therefore, these findings suggest that clinicians should monitor patients with ISSNHL carefully, and take specific precautions to reduce their risk of depression and anxiety disorder.

Project description:ImportanceEmerging reports of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) after COVID-19 vaccination within the otolaryngological community and the public have raised concern about a possible association between COVID-19 vaccination and the development of SSNHL.ObjectiveTo examine the potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and SSNHL.Design, setting, and participantsThis cross-sectional study and case series involved an up-to-date population-based analysis of 555 incident reports of probable SSNHL in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) over the first 7 months of the US vaccination campaign (December 14, 2020, through July 16, 2021). In addition, data from a multi-institutional retrospective case series of 21 patients who developed SSNHL after COVID-19 vaccination were analyzed. The study included all adults experiencing SSNHL within 3 weeks of COVID-19 vaccination who submitted reports to VAERS and consecutive adult patients presenting to 2 tertiary care centers and 1 community practice in the US who were diagnosed with SSNHL within 3 weeks of COVID-19 vaccination.ExposuresReceipt of a COVID-19 vaccine produced by any of the 3 vaccine manufacturers (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) used in the US.Main outcomes and measuresIncidence of reports of SSNHL after COVID-19 vaccination recorded in VAERS and clinical characteristics of adult patients presenting with SSNHL after COVID-19 vaccination.ResultsA total of 555 incident reports in VAERS (mean patient age, 54 years [range, 15-93 years]; 305 women [55.0%]; data on race and ethnicity not available in VAERS) met the definition of probable SSNHL (mean time to onset, 6 days [range, 0-21 days]) over the period investigated, representing an annualized incidence estimate of 0.6 to 28.0 cases of SSNHL per 100 000 people per year. The rate of incident reports of SSNHL was similar across all 3 vaccine manufacturers (0.16 cases per 100 000 doses for both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, and 0.22 cases per 100 000 doses for Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine). The case series included 21 patients (mean age, 61 years [range, 23-92 years]; 13 women [61.9%]) with SSNHL, with a mean time to onset of 6 days (range, 0-15 days). Patients were heterogeneous with respect to clinical and demographic characteristics. Preexisting autoimmune disease was present in 6 patients (28.6%). Of the 14 patients with posttreatment audiometric data, 8 (57.1%) experienced improvement after receiving treatment. One patient experienced SSNHL 14 days after receiving each dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cross-sectional study, findings from an updated analysis of VAERS data and a case series of patients who experienced SSNHL after COVID-19 vaccination did not suggest an association between COVID-19 vaccination and an increased incidence of hearing loss compared with the expected incidence in the general population.
