[Analysis of 59 cases of large vestibular aqueduct syndrome SLC26A4gene mutation frequency and new mutation sites].

ABSTRACT: Objective:To study the frequency of SLC26A4 gene mutation sites in children with enlarged vestibular aqueduct deafness in Yunnan, report the new mutation sites of SLC26A4 gene, further clarify the mutation spectrum of SLC26A4gene, and explore the association between biallelic and monoallelic mutations of SLC26A4 gene and CT phenotype of inner ear, so as to provide basis for clinical and genetic diagnosis of deafness. Methods:Review the results of temporal bone CT examination of 390 children after cochlear implantation in the Department of Otolaryngology, Kunming Children's Hospital from August 2016 to September 2021. Sanger sequencing of SLC26A4 gene was performed in 59 children with enlarged vestibular aqueduct. According to the genetic tes
