A polymorphism in human estrogen-related receptor beta (ESRRβ) predicts audiometric temporary threshold shift.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (rs61742642; C to T, P386S) in the ligand-binding domain of human estrogen-related receptor beta (ESRRβ) showed possible association to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in our previous study.

Design

This study was conducted to examine the effect of the ESRRβ rs61742642 T variant on temporary threshold shift (TTS). TTS was induced by 10 minutes of exposure to audiometric narrow-band noise centered at 2000 Hz. Hearing thresholds and distortion product otoacoustic emissions input output function (DP IO) at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz were measured before and after the noise exposure.

Study sample

Nineteen participants with rs61742642 CT genotype and 40 participants with rs61742642 CC genotype were recruited for the s
