Rethinking non-syndromic hearing loss and its mimics in the genomic era
B Vona, EJHG, March 6, 2024 (Posted: Mar 06, 2024 9AM)

From the article: "The sense of hearing plays a crucial role in everyday life, from influencing speech and language development in early childhood to reducing risk of social isolation, depression and cognitive decline in the elderly. The causes of hearing loss are numerous, although genetic causes are thought to be implicated in up to 80% of congenital diagnoses (reviewed in ref. [1]). The remarkable complexity of the auditory system is mirrored in its extensive genetic heterogeneity, with deleterious variants in hundreds of genes already associated with hearing loss and many more awaiting discovery.

Leading Risk Factors for Congenital Deafness in the Context of Universal Neonatal Screening: Our Observations in a Four-Year Retrospective Study
A Paul et al, IJNS, February 2024 (Posted: Feb 05, 2024 11AM)

From the abstract: "We studied infants referred for diagnosis after screening between January 2018 and December 2021. Their medical history and neonatal hearing risk factors were assessed. Associations between factors were also analyzed. Sixty-six infants were included. A family history of deafness (47%), syndromic deafness (41%), intrauterine growth retardation or prematurity (19.7%), and prolonged NICU admission (18%) were the most observed factors. When analyzing according to these associations, family history of deafness and syndromic cases remained the most prevalent factors (74%), while only five cases (7.8%) presented with other neonatal risk factors only. The majority of congenital hearing loss cases are observed in infants with suspected genetic deafness. "

Deaf boy can now hear after breakthrough gene treatment
Medical XPress, January 23, 2024 (Posted: Jan 25, 2024 8AM)

From the article: " Gene therapy for hearing loss is something that we physicians and scientists in the world of hearing loss have been working toward for over 20 years, and it is finally here. While the gene therapy we performed in our patient was to correct an abnormality in one, very rare gene, these studies may open the door for future use for some of the over 150 other genes that cause childhood hearing loss."

Social and physical predictors of mental health impact in adult women who have an FMR1 premutation
C Kraan et al, Genetics in Med Open, August 26, 2023 (Posted: Aug 29, 2023 11AM)

From the abstract: "Clear understanding of mental health phenotypes and associated socioeconomic, physical health and wellbeing impacts in adult women with an FMR1 premutation (PM) is needed for counselling and primary healthcare. This is a survey of 137 participants. Depression was found in ~30% and social anxiety in ~38%. With depression status the outcome variable, strongest associations were for low education, diagnosis of migraine, diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and self-reported hearing loss symptoms."

A Parent’s Guide to Genetics and Hearing Loss
CDC, 2023 Brand (Posted: Mar 31, 2023 7AM)

About 1 in 500 infants are born with or develop hearing loss during early childhood. Screening for hearing loss is considered standard care in the United States and in 2019 over 98% of children were screened, usually before leaving the hospital. Hearing loss has many causes, including genetic causes (that is, caused by the instructions in the baby’s cells) and non-genetic causes (such as certain infections the mother has during pregnancy or infections affecting the newborn baby).

Implementation of Population-Based Genetic Testing of Newborn Infants for Prediction of Hearing Loss in Ontario, Canada
CDC Webinar, April 19, 2023 Brand (Posted: Feb 22, 2023 6AM)

In 2019, Newborn Screening Ontario launched a novel screening approach for genetic permanent hearing loss (PHL) risk involving universal testing of newborn dried blood spots for a panel of penetrant GJB2 and SLC26A4 variants associated with congenital or very early onset PHL. In July 2020, the less penetrant and relatively frequent GJB2 V37I variant was added to the panel. Babies homozygous for this variant, or heterozygous for this variant and a penetrant variant, are estimated to be at ~20% risk for congenital hearing loss and ~50% risk of developing moderate or more severe PHL by age 5.

Rare-variant association analysis reveals known and new age-related hearing loss genes
DMC Sanchez et al, EJHG, February 15, 2023 (Posted: Feb 15, 2023 7AM)

We analyzed exome and imputed data from white-European UK Biobank volunteers, performing both single-variant and rare-variant aggregate association analyses using self-reported ARHL phenotypes. We identified and replicated associations between ARHL and rare-variants in KLHDC7B, PDCD6, MYO6, SYNJ2, and TECTA. PUS7L and EYA4 also revealed rare-variant associations with ARHL. EYA4, MYO6, and TECTA are all known to underline Mendelian nonsyndromic HL. PDCD6, a new HL gene, plays an important role in apoptosis and has widespread inner ear expression, particularly in the inner hair cells.

Views of healthcare professionals on the inclusion of genes associated with non-syndromic hearing loss in reproductive genetic carrier screening

Association of Polygenic Risk Scores for Hearing Difficulty in Older Adults With Hearing Loss in Mid-Childhood and Midlife: A Population-Based Cross-sectional Study Within the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children.
Jing Wang et al. JAMA otolaryngology-- head & neck surgery 2023 1 (Posted: Jan 28, 2023 11AM)

This population-based cross-sectional study, including 1608 children and 1642 adults, nested within the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children found that in contemporaneous population-based samples, PRSs computed from self-reported hearing difficulty in 40- to 69-year-old adults showed some evidence of association with hearing ability in 11- to 12-year-olds and their parents, but minimal evidence of associations with speech reception ability.

Association of Genetic Diagnoses of Childhood-Onset Hearing Loss With Cochlear Implant Outcomes.
Carlson Ryan J et al. JAMA otolaryngology-- head & neck surgery 2023 1 (Posted: Jan 18, 2023 1PM)

n this cross-sectional study of 449 children with SNHL, genomic sequencing identified a genetic cause of SNHL for more than 50% of affected children, with 43 genes involved. Cochlear implants were successful in all participants who underwent implant, but children with hearing loss due to deafness-causing alleles of TMPRSS3 and MITF had the best results on speech performance tests. The results suggest that genetic testing is a valuable prognostic tool for managing pediatric hearing loss and a predictor for cochlear implant outcomes.

Audiological Evidence of Frequent Hereditary Mild, Moderate and Moderate-to-Severe Hearing Loss
T Markova et al, J Per Med, November 4, 2022 (Posted: Nov 04, 2022 9AM)

We aimed to evaluate the audiological features in patients with mild, moderate, and moderate-to-severe SNHL according to genotype. Audiological and genetic data were analyzed for 251 patients and their relatives with congenital bilateral mild, moderate, and moderate-to-severe SNHL. Hearing loss severity, audiogram profile, interaural symmetry, and dynamics of hearing thresholds were analyzed. In this case, 165 patients had GJB2 gene mutations, 30 patients were identified with STRC mutations, and 16 patients had pathogenic or likely pathogenic USH2A mutations. The presence of at least one GJB2 non-truncating variant in genotype led to less severe hearing impairment.

Comprehensive Genomic Sequencing–Based Screening for Hearing Loss in the Neonatal Intensive Care Setting—Is It Time?
AN Abou Tayoun, JAMA Network Open, July 11, 2022 (Posted: Jul 11, 2022 1PM)

A recent study suggests that targeted genetic screening—using population-specific common pathogenic variants—combined with physiological and cytomegalovirus testing may be an effective newborn screening strategy for hearing loss, in critically ill neonates and beyond. This combinatory approach has the additional benefit of identifying mild and later-onset hearing loss and providing valuable genetic information that is often missed by traditional NHBS. However, additional work is needed to characterize the genetic landscape of hearing loss across populations and to define the optimal population-wide genetic screening method for deafness.

Association Between Expanded Genomic Sequencing Combined With Hearing Screening and Detection of Hearing Loss Among Newborns in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Y Zhu et al, JAMA Network Open, July 11, 2022 (Posted: Jul 11, 2022 1PM)

Is expanded genomic sequencing combined with hearing screening associated with the detection of hearing loss and the improvement in the clinical management of patients in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)? Findings In this cohort study that included 8078 patients in the NICU, expanded genomic sequencing was associated with a 15.6% increase in cases of diagnosed hearing loss that were missed by hearing screening and changed the clinical management strategies of these patients. Of 52 patients with a diagnosis of hearing loss, 39 (75%) had genetic findings and experienced a more severe degree of hearing loss.

The views of people with a lived experience of deafness and the general public regarding genetic testing for deafness in the reproductive setting: A systematic review
L Freeman et al, Genetics in Medicine, June 3, 2022 (Posted: Jun 06, 2022 7AM)

Most studies indicated interest in the use of prenatal diagnosis for deafness. However, there were mixed views, and sometimes strongly held views, expressed regarding the reproductive options that should be available to those with an increased chance of having a child with deafness. Studies were small, from a limited number of countries, and most were too old to include views regarding preimplantation genetic testing.

Clinical evaluation and etiologic diagnosis of hearing loss: A clinical practice resource of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)
MM Li et al, Genetics in Medicine, May 10, 2022 (Posted: May 11, 2022 8AM)

Hearing loss is a common and complex condition that can occur at any age, can be inherited or acquired, and is associated with a remarkably wide array of etiologies. The diverse causes of hearing loss, combined with the highly variable and often overlapping presentations of different forms of hearing loss, challenge the ability of traditional clinical evaluations to arrive at an etiologic diagnosis for many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. This clinical practice resource offers information about the frequency, causes, and presentations of hearing loss and suggests approaches to the clinical and genetic evaluation of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals aimed at identifying an etiologic diagnosis and providing informative and effective patient education and genetic counseling.

Genetic Testing in Newborns Moves From Rare to Routine Application.
Pillers De-Ann M et al. JAMA pediatrics 2022 3 (Posted: Mar 22, 2022 0PM)

The development of the point-of-care test has only moved the goal post. The goal should not be limited to screening for the risk of developing hearing loss, but must be broadened to the identification of novel therapeutics to reduce harm. Importantly, diagnostic testing to identify more specifically those with neonatal sepsis is an important mandate. By having a targeted approach with reliable efficacy in sorting out who truly needs antibiotics, we will approach a safer world with fewer complications for newborns.

Deafness-family matters.
Roux Anne-Françoise et al. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2021 11 (Posted: Nov 26, 2021 10AM)

Knowledge on the genetics of hearing loss has spectacularly progressed over the last 30 years, as over 120 genes are today causally implicated in Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (NSHL). This genetic heterogeneity is further increased by over 400 forms of syndromic sensorineural HL [1]. Knowing the genetic etiology of HL provides benefits for the patient regarding the disease course, as well as monitoring for other potential clinical features. It also helps to estimate the recurrence risk of the condition within a given family. Genetic testing is now included in the global monitoring of hearing loss.

Newborn Hearing Screening Can Improve Reading Skills
CDC, October 2021 Brand (Posted: Oct 25, 2021 1PM)

Findings showed that reading proficiency significantly improved for each group of children (by birth year and grade overall) following implementation of UNHS/EHDI. This study is the first to demonstrate long-term improvement in reading proficiency over time among children with hearing loss, as UNHS/EHDI programs were being implemented. By the end of the study, more than 80% of children in Colorado met the national EHDI 1-3-6 benchmarks.

A multiplex PCR amplicon sequencing assay to screen genetic hearing loss variants in newborns.
Yang Haiyan et al. BMC medical genomics 2021 3 (1) 61 (Posted: Mar 01, 2021 8AM)

Congenital hearing loss is one of the most common birth defects. Early identification plays a crucial role in improving patients’ communication and language acquisition. Previous studies demonstrated that genetic screening complements newborn hearing screening in clinical settings. We developed a multiplex PCR amplicon sequencing assay to sequence the coding region of the GJB2 gene, the most pathogenic variants of the SLC26A4 gene, and hotspot variants in the MT-RNR1 gene.

Molecular diagnosis of non-syndromic hearing loss patients using a stepwise approach.
Wang Jing et al. Scientific reports 2021 Feb 11(1) 4036 (Posted: Feb 23, 2021 8AM)

This study investigates the molecular etiology of a hearing loss cohort using a stepwise strategy to effectively diagnose patients and address the challenges posed by the genetic heterogeneity and variable mutation spectrum of hearing loss. In order to target known pathogenic variants, multiplex PCR plus next-generation sequencing was applied in the first step; patients which did not receive a diagnosis from this were further referred for exome sequencing.

Genomic Sequencing for Newborn Screening: Results of the NC NEXUS Project.
Roman Tamara S et al. American journal of human genetics 2020 Aug (Posted: Aug 28, 2020 8AM)

We enrolled healthy newborns and children with metabolic diseases or hearing loss (106 participants total). ES confirmed the participant’s underlying diagnosis in 88% of children with metabolic disorders and in 5 out of 28 (~18%) children with hearing loss. We discovered actionable findings in four participants that would not have been detected by standard NBS.

Significant Mendelian genetic contribution to pediatric mild-to-moderate hearing loss and its comprehensive diagnostic approach
BJ Kim et al, Genetics in Medicine, March 17, 2020 (Posted: Mar 20, 2020 8AM)

Approximately two-thirds of sporadic pediatric mild-to-moderate SNHL have a clear Mendelian genetic etiology, and one-third is associated with CNVs involving STRC. Based on this, we propose a new guideline for molecular diagnosis of these children.

Exome sequencing in infants with congenital hearing impairment: a population-based cohort study.
Downie Lilian et al. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2019 Dec (Posted: Dec 13, 2019 9AM)

This is population-derived cohort comprised infants with moderate-profound bilateral HI born in the 2016–2017 calendar years, detected through newborn hearing screening. The high diagnostic yield and clinical implications emphasises the need for genomic sequencing to become standard of care.

Fulfilling the Promise - Ensuring the Success of Newborn Screening throughout Life
CDC, November 2019 Brand (Posted: Nov 13, 2019 8AM)

Each year, more than 13,000 newborn babies are identified with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, congenital heart defects, and hearing loss through a public health program called newborn screening. Without specialized care and treatment, these babies would face long-term disability, or even death.

Genetic therapies for hearing loss: Accomplishments and remaining challenges.
Taiber Shahar et al. Neuroscience letters 2019 Oct 134527 (Posted: Oct 07, 2019 11AM)

A promising approach for developing treatments for genetic hearing loss is the most simplistic one, that of gene therapy. Gene therapy would intuitively be ideal for these conditions since it is directed at the very source of the problem. Recent achievements in this field in laboratory models spike hope and optimism among scientists, patients, and industry.

GWAS Identifies 44 Independent Associated Genomic Loci for Self-Reported Adult Hearing Difficulty in UK Biobank
HRR Wells et al, AJHG, September 26, 2019 (Posted: Sep 28, 2019 8AM)

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for two self-reported hearing phenotypes, using more than 250,000 UK Biobank (UKBB) volunteers aged between 40 and 69 years. Forty-four independent genome-wide significant loci were identified, considerably increasing the number of established trait loci.
