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.

Objective: We identified 2 patients in 1 family who had novel mutations in GRXCR1, which caused progressive hearing loss. Methods: One thousand one hundred twenty Japanese hearing loss patients with sensorineural hearing loss from unrelated families were enrolled in this study. Targeted genomic enrichment with massively parallel sequencing of all known nonsyndromic hearing loss genes was used to identify the genetic causes of hearing loss. Results: In this study, 2 affected individuals with compound heterozygous mutations—c.439C>T (p.R147C) and c.784C>T (p.R262X)—in GRXCR1 were identified. The proband had moderate to severe hearing loss and suffered from dizziness with bilateral canal paralysis. Conclusion: Our cases are the first identified in the Japanese population and are consistent with previously reported cases. The frequency of mutations in GRXCR1 seems to be extremely rare. This study underscores the importance of using comprehensive genetic testing for hearing loss. Furthermore, longitudinal audiologic assessment and precise vestibular testing are necessary for a better understanding of the mechanisms of hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction caused by GRXCR1 mutations.
