Abstract
Background: MYO15A is one of the common genes of severe-to-profound sensorineural deafness. Mutations in this gene can cause both pre- and post-lingual hearing losses. In this study, a novel MYO15A variant (c.2482C>T) was identified to be associated with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) in a Chinese Uighur family.
Methods: To examine the effects of the MYO15A mutation on the morphology and function of the derived hair cell-like cells, two iPSCs were generated separately from the proband and a mutation-negative family member and those were then induced to hair cell-like cells.
Results: Results showed that this homozygous MYO15A mutation (PVS1 + PM2 + PP1 + PP3), which is located in the N-terminal domain, displayed significant differences in the morphology and function of hair cell-like cells between the proband and the normal control, although it had no effect on the totipotency of iPSCs.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the novel variant c.2482C>T in the MYO15A gene may cause inner ear hair cell dysfunction and audiological disorders in this family.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of quality research related to the dynamically developing areas of human, molecular and medical genetics. The journal publishes original research articles covering findings in phenotypic, molecular, biological, and genomic aspects of genomic variation, inherited disorders and birth defects. The broad publishing spectrum of Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine includes rare and common disorders from diagnosis to treatment. Examples of appropriate articles include reports of novel disease genes, functional studies of genetic variants, in-depth genotype-phenotype studies, genomic analysis of inherited disorders, molecular diagnostic methods, medical bioinformatics, ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI), and approaches to clinical diagnosis. Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine provides a scientific home for next generation sequencing studies of rare and common disorders, which will make research in this fascinating area easily and rapidly accessible to the scientific community. This will serve as the basis for translating next generation sequencing studies into individualized diagnostics and therapeutics, for day-to-day medical care.
Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine publishes original research articles, reviews, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented.
