Fifty-three loci have presently been reported. The 17 deafness forms for which the genes have been identified are presented. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

Deafness can present as part of a syndrome, for example Usher, Pendred, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen and Waardenburg syndromes. [centogene.com]

The CT and clinical findings are considered typical, and a family history need not be present to suggest the diagnosis of X-linked congenital hearing loss. In four patients reported by Talbot and Wilson ( 4 ), a family history was not present. [ajnr.org]

In addition, an extra third bone (rather than the normal two) may be present in the thumbs and/or great toes, a condition known as “triphalangy.” [rarediseases.org]

  Age of onset is characterized as prelingual (before speech develops) or postlingual (after speech develops). Severity ranges from mild to profound. [egl-eurofins.com]

  Onset of deafness / hearing loss can be prelingual (hearing loss is present before speech develops), or postlingual (hearing loss occurs after the development of normal speech). [bredagenetics.com]

  Onset Prelingual hearing loss is present before speech develops. All congenital (present at birth) hearing loss is prelingual, but not all prelingual hearing loss is congenital. Postlingual hearing loss occurs after the development of normal speech. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For example if a KNCQ1 mutation is found, additional cardiac workup may be warranted since mutations in this gene are also associated with cardiac rhythm abnormalities. [bcidaho.com]

Recognition of congenital X-linked mixed hearing loss is important because it changes the treatment and precludes stapedectomy. [ajnr.org]

Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of DOOR syndrome is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. [rarediseases.org]

Treatments for childhood hearing loss Depending on the severity and cause of hearing loss in your child, hearing aids, cochlear implants and a combination of speech therapy or assistive listening devices might be recommended forms of treatment. [healthyhearing.com]

Screening to identify carriers, genetic counseling, and prenatal diagnosis can greatly reduce the rate of birth of affected infants and improve the prognosis of affected patients. [jpma.org.pk]

These factors lend credence to the theory that patients with GJB2 and GJB6 mutations may have a favorable prognosis following cochlear implantation, and that patients with other mutations or without a documented mutation may have a less favorable prognosis [bcidaho.com]

Acquired causes should be differentiated from genetic causes to inform the evaluation and required ancillary testing (i.e., CT, MRI, and consultation with specialists) and to inform prognosis and treatment recommendations. Figure 2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An important benefit of genetic testing is etiologic diagnosis of hearing loss (JCIH, 2007; ACMG, 2002). [audiologyonline.com]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

Single-gene testing may be warranted in cases in which the medical or family history, or presentation of the hearing loss, suggests a specific etiology. [bcidaho.com]

Of note, there’s some debate about the molecular etiology of nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss in subjects with only one detectable GJB2 mutation. A minority of such cases is explained by digenic etiology of GJB2 with GJB3 or GJB6. [bredagenetics.com]

Prevention of Secondary Complications Regardless of its etiology, uncorrected hearing loss has consistent sequelae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
