The presentation of basic science underlying clinical otorhinolaryngology has been expanded, and molecular mechanisms and genetics of disease are presented. [books.google.com]

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]

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]

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]

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]
