Hearing loss is the most prevalent manifestation in individuals with these disorders. However, the clinical and pathophysiological features have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we collected five cases of hearing loss carrying bi-allelic TWNK variants from three unrelated Chinese families and identified two cases with isolated auditory neuropathy (AN) and three cases segregating with Perrault syndrome, characterized by AN, global developmental delay, and ovarian dysgenesis in females. All patients with cochlear implantation (CI) show poor speech discrimination outcomes, suggesting that the defect involves post-synaptic sites. In the mouse inner ear, Twinkle was immunolocalized to inner phalangeal cells and spiral ganglion neurons. Additionally, the broad expression pattern of Twinkle was observed in the auditory cortex, which to some extent explains the poor rehabilitation outcomes following CI. At the cellular level, Twinkle is localized at the mtDNA membrane, and the p.(Arg609AlaTer6) variant prevents the protein from reaching the mtDNA while the p.(Arg65Trp) variant exhibits a similar localization to the wild type, indicating a second mechanism of action. RT-PCR results indicated that the canonical transcript was abundant in the inner ear, while the shorter transcript was more abundant in the brain. Our findings revealed that bi-allelic TWNK variants lead to AN, which can be either syndromic or non-syndromic, with the molecular pathogenesis involving defects in mtDNA replication at post-synaptic sites. Patients with TWNK-associated conditions are not ideal candidates for CI and gene therapy may offer a solution for hearingrehabilitation.</p>","PeriodicalId":13175,"journal":{"name":"Human Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145023167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed BRCA-CN, a consortium blockchain-based governance framework specifically designed for BRCA gene variant interpretation in Chinese populations. Our framework compiled 66,485 variants from 6,031 samples across six Chinese laboratories. A 15-expert panel conducted systematic variant curation using unified interpretation standards based on ACMG/AMP guidelines. Smart contracts ensured data integrity and accountability throughout the consensus process. After deduplication, we established a comprehensive database of 950 unique variants (BRCA1: 365, BRCA2: 585), completing consensus reviews for 607 sites with 462 achieving definitive interpretations. Comparison with ClinVar revealed 83.6% concordance, with AI validation (PrimateAI, REVEL, EVE) confirming high interpretation accuracy. The blockchain framework successfully enabled secure cross-institutional collaboration while maintaining data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. BRCA-CN demonstrates the transformative potential of blockchain technology in genomic medicine, addressing critical challenges in data sharing, standardization, and regulatory oversight. This framework provides a robust foundation for clinical decision-making and establishes a replicable model for population-specific genomic databases.
