Project description:Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) is the most common form of prelingual inherited hearing impairment (HI). Here is described the mapping of a novel ARNSHI locus in a consanguineous Pakistani family with profound congenital HI. Two-point and multipoint linkage analyses were performed for the genome scan and fine mapping markers. Haplotypes were constructed to determine the region of homozygosity. At theta = 0, the maximum two-point LOD score of 4.0 was obtained at marker AAC040. A maximum multipoint LOD score of 5.3 was derived at marker D12S320, with the three-unit support interval demarcated by D12S89 and D12S1042. The region of homozygosity is flanked by markers D12S358 and D12S1042, which corresponds to 22.4 cM according to the Rutgers combined linkage-physical map of the human genome and spans 15.0 Mb on the sequence-based physical map. A novel ARNSHI locus DFNB62 was mapped to chromosome 12p13.2-p11.23. DFNB62 represents the second ARNSHI locus to map to chromosome 12.

Project description:A novel ARNSHI (autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment) locus, DFNB71, was localized to 8p22-21.3. To map the locus, a whole-genome scan was carried out using DNA samples from a consanguineous seven-generational Pakistani family with profound prelingual ARNSHI. A maximum multipoint LOD score of 4.2 occurred at marker D8S261. The DFNB71 region of homozygosity and 3-unit support interval is flanked by markers D8S1130 and D8S1786. This region has a genetic distance of 19.1 cM and contains 10.6 Mb of sequence.

Project description:Hereditary hearing impairment (HI) displays extensive genetic heterogeneity. Autosomal recessive (AR) forms of prelingual HI account for approximately 75% of cases with a genetic etiology. A novel AR non-syndromic HI locus (DFNB47) was mapped to chromosome 2p25.1-p24.3, in two distantly related Pakistani kindreds. Genome scan and fine mapping were carried out using microsatellite markers. Multipoint linkage analysis resulted in a maximum LOD score of 4.7 at markers D2S1400 and D2S262. The three-unit support interval was bounded by D2S330 and D2S131. The region of homozygosity was found within the three-unit support interval and flanked by markers D2S2952 and D2S131, which corresponds to 13.2 cM according to the Rutgers combined linkage-physical map. This region contains 5.3 Mb according to the sequence-based physical map. Three candidate genes, KCNF1, ID2 and ATP6V1C2 were sequenced, and were found to be negative for functional sequence variants.

Project description:The genetic etiology for many forms of hearing impairment (HI) is very diverse. Non-syndromic HI (NSHI) is one of the most heterogeneous traits known. Autosomal recessive forms of prelingual HI account for approximately 75% of hereditary cases. A novel autosomal recessive NSHI locus, DFNB44, was mapped to a 20.9 cM genetic interval on chromosome 7p14.1-q11.22, according to the Marshfield genetic map, in a consanguineous Pakistani family. Multipoint linkage analysis resulted in a maximum LOD score of 5.0 at marker D7S1818. The 3-unit support interval ranged from marker D7S2209 to marker D7S2435, spanning a 30.1 Mb region on the sequence-based physical map.

Project description:Hereditary hearing impairment (HI) is the most genetically heterogeneous trait known in humans. So far, 54 autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) loci have been mapped, and 21 ARNSHI genes have been identified. Here is reported the mapping of a novel ARNSHI locus, DFNB55, to chromosome 4q12-q13.2 in a consanguineous Pakistani family. A maximum multipoint LOD score of 3.5 was obtained at marker D4S2638. The region of homozygosity and the 3-unit support interval are flanked by markers D4S2978 and D4S2367. The region spans 8.2 cm on the Rutgers combined linkage-physical map and contains 11.5 Mb. DFNB55 represents the third ARNSHI locus mapped to chromosome 4.

Project description:A novel locus for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI), DFNB96, was mapped to the 1p36.31-p36.13 region. A whole-genome linkage scan was performed using DNA samples from a consanguineous family from Pakistan with ARNSHI. A maximum two-point logarithm of odds (LOD) score of 3.2 was obtained at marker rs8627 (chromosome 1: 8.34 Mb) at θ=0 and a significant maximum multipoint LOD score of 3.8 was achieved at 15 contiguous markers from rs630075 (9.3 Mb) to rs10927583 (15.13 Mb). The 3-unit support interval and the region of homozygosity were both delimited by markers rs3817914 (6.42 Mb) and rs477558 (18.09 Mb) and contained 11.67 Mb. Of the 125 genes within the DFNB96 interval, the previously identified ARNSHI gene for DFNB36, ESPN, and two genes that cause Bartter syndrome, CLCNKA and CLCNKB, were sequenced, but no potentially causal variants were identified.

Project description:BackgroundPrelingual hearing impairment (HI) is genetically highly heterogenous. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential for psychosocial development. In this study we investigated a consanguineous family from Pakistan with autosomal recessive (AR) non-syndromic sensorineural HI (NSHI).MethodsA DNA sample from an HI member of a consanguineous Pakistani family segregating ARNSHL underwent exome sequencing. Using Sanger sequencing select variants were validated and tested for segregation using DNA samples from additional family members. We further investigated RNA expression data for the candidate gene in mouse and human inner ear and human inner ear organoids using data obtained from the gene Expression Analysis Resource.ResultsWe identified thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) as a new NSHI gene. A homozygous frameshift variant [c.1470del: p.(Ile491Serfs*45)] was observed in the three hearing-impaired and in the heterozygous state in three unaffected family members. Unlike for most ARNSHI, hearing-impaired individuals had audiograms with a sloping pattern, showing more pronounced HI in the mid and high frequencies (ranging from moderate to profound) compared to the low frequencies. RNA expression data indicates THBS1 is expressed during human inner ear development. Additionally, THBS1 is expressed in the cochlear epithelium and supporting cells of the mouse inner ear during embryonic and postnatal stages. Previously, THBS1 was demonstrated to affect hearing in knockout mice by influencing the formation and function of afferent synapses in the inner ear.ConclusionsOur findings highlight THBS1 as a potential novel candidate gene for human HI characterized by a sloping high-frequency audio profile. This discovery enhances our understanding of the genetic etiology of HI and will aid in advancing molecular diagnosis.

Project description:From a large collection of families with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) from Pakistan, linkage has been established for two unrelated consanguineous families to 19p13.2. This new locus was assigned the name DFNB68. A 10 cM genome scan and additional fine mapping were carried out using microsatellite marker loci. Linkage was established for both families to DFNB68 with maximum multipoint LOD scores of 4.8 and 4.6. The overlap of the homozygous regions between the two families was bounded by D19S586 and D19S584, which limits the locus interval to 1.9 cM and contains 1.4 Mb. The genes CTL2, KEAP1 and CDKN2D were screened but were negative for functional sequence variants.

Project description:Hearing impairment (HI) is the most frequent sensory defect with wide genetic heterogeneity. Approximately 80% of genetic hearing loss is non-syndromic and 15-25% of exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance. We analysed an Italian three generation family in which non-syndromic hearing impairment is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Onset of HI in all affected subjects occurred in the second decade of life, with subsequent gradual progression from moderate to profound loss. HI was bilateral and symmetrical, involving all frequencies. After exclusion of the known DFNA loci with markers from the Hereditary Hearing Loss Homepage (URL: http://dnalab-www.uia.ac.be/dnalab/hhh), a genome wide scan was carried out using 358 highly informative microsatellite markers. Significant linkage (Zmax=4.21, theta=0) was obtained with chromosome 2p12 markers. The results were confirmed by multipoint analysis (Zmax=4.51), using the location score method. Haplotype analysis defined a 9.6 cM disease gene interval on chromosome 2 without overlap with the other identified loci. Fine mapping and identification of candidate genes are in progress.

Project description:DFNB89 is a novel autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) locus that was mapped to 16q21-q23.2. Linkage to the region was established by carrying out genome-wide linkage scans in two unrelated, consanguineous Pakistani families segregating ARNSHI. The maximum multipoint LOD score is 9.7 for both families and for each family, a significant maximum LOD score of 6.0 and 3.7 were obtained. The 3-unit support interval and the region of homozygosity for the two families extend from rs717293 (chr16: 62.1 Mb) to rs728929 (chr16: 78.2 Mb) and contain 16.1 Mb of sequence. A total of 146 genes are within the DFNB89 interval. Eight candidate genes, CALB2, CDH1, CDH3, CDH11, HAS3, NOB1, PLEKHG4 and SMPD3, were sequenced, but no potentially causal variants were discovered. DFNB89 is the second ARNSHI locus mapped to chromosome 16.
