Abstract EN
Hearing loss is a highly heterogeneous disorder, with more than 60% of congenital cases caused by genetic factors.
This study is aimed at identifying the genetic cause of congenital hearing loss in a Chinese Han family.
Auditory evaluation before and after cochlear implantation and targeted next-generation sequencing of 140 deafness-related genes were performed for the deaf proband.
Compound heterozygous mutations c.3658_3662del (p.
E1221Wfs∗23) and c.6177+1G>T were identified in MYO15A as the only candidate pathogenic mutations cosegregated with the hearing loss in this family.
These two variants were absent in 200 normal-hearing Chinese Hans and were classified as likely pathogenic and pathogenic, respectively, based on the ACMG guideline.
Our study further expanded the mutation spectrum of MYO15A as the c.3658_3662del mutation is novel and confirmed that deaf patients with recessive MYO15A mutations have a good outcome for cochlear implantation.
