And Function

PTPRQ gene, encoding protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor Q, is essential for the normal maturation and function of hair bundle in the cochlea. Its mutations can cause the defects of stereocilia in hair cell, which lead to nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Using next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing method, we identified a novel compound heterozygous missense mutation, c.4472C>T p.T1491M (maternal allele) and c.1973T>C p.V658A (paternal allele), in PTPRQ gene. The two mutations are the first reported to be the cause of recessively inherited sensorineural hearing loss. Hearing loss levels and progression involved by PTPRQ mutations among the existing cases seem to be varied, and the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes is unclear. Our data here further prove the important role of PTPRQ in auditory function and provide more information for the further mechanism research of PTPRQ-related hearing loss.

First Case

Objective: We present a patient who was identified with novel mutations in the LRTOMT gene and describe the clinical features of the phenotype including serial audiological findings. Methods: One hundred six Japanese patients with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss from unrelated and nonconsanguineous families were enrolled in the study. Targeted genomic enrichment and massively parallel sequencing of all known nonsyndromic hearing loss genes were performed to identify the genetic cause of hearing loss. Results: Compound heterozygotes with a novel frame-shift mutation and a missense mutation were identified in the LRTOMT gene. The mutated residues were segregated in both alleles of LRTOMT, present within the LRTOMT2 protein coding region. The patient had moderate sloping hearing loss at high frequencies, which progressed at 1000 Hz and higher frequencies over a period of 6 years. Conclusion: Hearing loss caused by mutations in the LRTOMT gene is extremely rare. This is the first case report of a compound heterozygous mutation in a nonconsanguineous family.

Chinese Studies

Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorder and approximately 466 million people have disabling hearing loss worldwide. This study was conducted to identify the mutations in the GJB2, GJB3, and GJB6 genes in an Indian cohort with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss and ascertain its use for genetic testing. 31 affected individuals with prelingual bilateral non-syndromic severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss were identified based on clinical evaluation and audiometric assessment. Sanger Sequencing method was used. Six out of 31 affected individuals showed pathogenic nonsense mutations in GJB2 gene, accounting to 19.3%. Of the 6 affected individuals, 5 were homozygous for c.71G>A(p.Trp24Ter) and one was compound heterozygous for c.71G>A and c.370C>T(p.Gln124Ter). Missense mutations [c.380G>A(p.Arg127His) and c.457G>A(p.Val153Ile)], and 3' UTR variations were also identified in GJB2 gene. GJB3 and GJB6 genes showed only silent mutations and 3' UTR variations. 19.3% of affected individuals showing pathogenic mutations in GJB2 gene in our cohort is comparable to other Indian studies (approximately 20%) and it is less as compared to Caucasian, Japanese, and Chinese studies (approximately 50%). Lower occurrence of pathogenic mutations in GJB2 gene in our cohort and other Indian studies as compared to other Caucasian, Japanese and Chinese studies, and absence of pathogenic mutations in GJB3 and GJB6 genes indicates that these genes may have a limited role in the Indian population. Hence there is a need to identify genes that play a major role in the Indian population so that they can be used for genetic testing for NHSL to aid in accurate and early diagnosis.

AbstractMutations in HARS2 are one of the genetic causes of Perrault syndrome, characterized by sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and ovarian dysfunction. Here, we identified two novel putative pathogenic variants of HARS2 in a Chinese family with sensorineural hearing loss including two affected male siblings, c.349G > A (p.Asp117Asn) and c.908 T > C (p.Leu303Pro), through targeted next-generation sequencing methods. The two affected siblings (13 and 11 years old) presented with early-onset, rapidly progressive SNHL. The affected siblings did not have any inner ear malformations or delays in gross motor development. Combined with preexisting clinical reports, Perrault syndrome may be latent in some families with non-syndromic deafness associated with HARS2 mutations. The definitive diagnosis of Perrault syndrome based on clinical features alone is a challenge in sporadic males, and preadolescent females with no signs of POI. Our findings further expanded the existing spectrum of HARS2 variants and Perrault syndrome phenotypes, which will assist in molecular diagnosis and genetic counselling of patients with HARS2 mutations.
