ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The relationship between the hearing phenotype and the SLC26A4 mutation in enlarged vestibular aqueduct cases has not been fully elucidated.OBJECTIVES:
To detect SLC26A4 mutation in a group of cases with enlarged vestibular aqueduct who received cochlear implantation and to analyze the correlation between the SLC26A4 genotype and the progression of deafness. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Twenty-nine enlarged vestibular aqueduct patients were selected. Using the Sanger sequence to analyze SLC26A4 gene mutations. The 29 cases were divided into group A (carrying the c.919-2A > G mutation) and group B (not carrying the c.919-2A > G mutation). The difference in the duration of deafness was analyzed between the two groups.RESULTS:
The detection rate of the c.1174A > T mutation in the postlingual deafness group was 37.5%, higher than that in the prelingual deafness group (0%). The difference in the duration of deafness between groups A and B was not statistically significant by the Mann-Whitney U test (p > 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
The correlation between the SLC26A4 genotype and the duration of deafness in cases with enlarged vestibular aqueduct is not yet clear. However, the c.1174A > T mutation may be linked to delayed hearing loss and the progression of deafness may be relatively slow in some cases of c.919-2A > G mutation.Palabras clave
