Abstract:
Objective To study the SLC26A4 mutations in children with non -syndromic hearing loss by ge-netic testing method ,for the purpose of investigating etiology and mutation regularity of hearing loss ,and to provide basic information for the molecular diagnosis of hearing loss .Methods Blood samples and clinical data of 137 spo-radic cases with non -syndromic hearing loss and 126 normal controls were collected .The SLC26A4 gene of the pa-tients and normal controls were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ,then subjected to automatic DNA se-quencing .Results Pathologic SLC26A4 mutations were identified in 23 out of 137 patients ,and in 23 out of 119 bi-lateral deafness ,mutate rate were 16 .79% and 19 .33% ,respectively .SLC26A4 mutations were identified in 19 out of 20(95% ) patients with bilateral LVA .A total of 11 mutations were identified in the present study ,including 4 novel mutations (E29K(c .85G>A) ,R79X(c .235C> T) ,C282G(c .844T>G) ,V285I(c .853G>A) )and 7 repor-ted mutations .In the present study ,IVS7-2A>G was the most common mutation ,and was detected in 19 out of 23(82 .61% ) patients with SLC26A4 mutations .Conclusion SLC26A4 mutations ,the common reason for non -syndromic hearing loss ,were closely related with LVA .IVS7-2A>G was the most common mutation in SLC26A4 mutant .
