An enlarged vestibular aqueduct is associated with Pendred syndrome which causes a goiter around puberty age. [journals.lww.com]
A deficiency of thyroxin synthesis leads to an increase in the thyroid stimulating hormone and eventually enlargement of thyroid gland known as goiter 33. [ayubmed.edu.pk]
The syndrome is characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss that is usually (though not invariably) severe-to-profound and euthyroid goiter. Goiter is not present at birth and develops in early puberty (40%) or adulthood (60%). [consilieregenetica.org]

Hearing Problem
Congenital hearing loss As opposed to acquired hearing loss, congenital hearing loss indicates the hearing problem is present in the child at birth. [artofhearing.com.au]
As her father had been a machinist, he and his doctor had always thought his hearing problems were because of his occupation but he found out later it was Alport. [pediatriceducation.org]
Screening tests for the GJB2 gene are available for at-risk people to help them determine their risk of having a child with hearing problems. [entnet.org]

Suggestibility
1997, Haplotype and phylogenetic analyses suggest that one European-specific mtDNA background plays a role in the expression of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy by increasing the penetrance of the primary mutations 11778 and 14484. Am. J. [books.google.com]
In the recessive model, 5 markers had LOD scores suggestive for linkage in the combined phenotypes and 3 markers were suggestive using the restricted phenotype. [jamanetwork.com]

Epidemiology
A chapter on epidemiology includes the prevalence of hearing impairment and several additional chapters are devoted to the various causative factors. [books.google.com]
Epidemiology The prevalence of ARVC in the general population is 1 in 5000, but in some European populations, it reaches 1 in 2000. [sinaiem.org]
From the molecular data presently available, three main epidemiologic results emerge: (a) Mutations in the gene encoding a gap junction protein, connexin 26, account for about half of the cases of prelingual isolated deafness in Caucasian populations; [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
Further epidemiological studies are needed in order to determine the prevalence of ADOA in Singapore. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of ARVC on the cellular level remains unclear, but may be caused by disruption of intercellular junctions in the myocardium. Myocyte separation may cause cell death, which increases afterload and wall stress. [sinaiem.org]
Each form is introduced by a brief history of how the gene was discovered, followed by the description of its clinical features and the established or putative role of the encoded protein, as well as the current hypotheses concerning the associated pathophysiological [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
