During the past three to four decades, the incidence of acquired sensorineural hearing loss
(SNHL) in children living in more developed countries has fallen, as a result of improved …

Objectives/Hypothesis To perform a systematic review of GJB2‐associated hearing loss to
describe genotype distributions and auditory phenotype. Data Sources 230 primary studies …

Objective: The mutation spectrum of the GJB2 and SLC26A4 genes, the 2 most common
genes causing deafness, are known to be ethnic specific. In this study, the spectrum of the …

Background Countries with culturally accepted consanguinity provide a unique resource for
the study of rare recessively inherited genetic diseases. Although hereditary hearing loss …

Iran, despite its size, geographic location and past cultural influence, has largely been a
blind spot for human population genetic studies. With only sparse genetic information on the …

Hearing loss (HL) is the most prevalent sensory defect affecting 1 in 500 neonates. Genetic
factors are involved in half of the cases. The extreme heterogeneity of HL makes it difficult to …

Aims: Mutations in the GJB2 gene–encoding connexin 26 protein are the main cause for
autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss worldwide. In this study, we assessed the …

We screened the GJB2 gene for mutations in 534 (108 multiplex and 426 simplex) probands
with non‐syndromic sensorineural deafness, who were ascertained through the only …

Background Osteoporosis is one of the most common problems of patients with spinal cord
injuries (SCIs). The current study aimed to evaluate the antiosteoporotic effects of curcumin …

Hearing loss (HL) is the most common birth defect and the most prevalent sensorineural
condition worldwide. It is associated with more than 1,000 mutations in at least 90 genes …
