– 50% of DFNB - mutations of GJB2 or Connexin 26

~15% of congenital hearing loss – Cx26 mutations
GJB2 / Connexin 26 gene

Mechanism
– Expressed in the cochlea
– Membrane protein forming
intracellular channels =
Gap Junction protein A / B
– Allows recirculation
of ions (K+)

– Carrier freq ≈ 3.5% Caucasians

– Carrier freq ≈ 4% Ashkenazi Jewish

=
Prospective study of etiology of
congenital hearing loss
• Utah, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention
Study Objectives

To determine the etiology of congenital
hearing loss based on children identified
through a statewide newborn hearing
screening (EHDI) program
– To evaluate all children with permanent hearing
loss, unilateral or bilateral, of any degree, from a
genetic perspective
– To determine the frequency of GJB2 and
mitochondrial mutations in this population
Study Objectives cont…

To establish a model infrastructure
linking genetic services to statewide
newborn hearing screening
Hypothesis

The majority of infants identified through the
newborn hearing screening program will
have hearing loss due to various genetic
causes including known syndromes and
mutations in the GJB2 gene.

Summary

93 probands

 65 sensorineural hearing loss
– 53 bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss


12 / 53 (23%) have GJB2 variant
5 / 53 (9.4%) 35 del G homozygotes or
compound heterozygotes
Risk Factors for Hearing Loss





Prematurity (<37 wks gestation),
jaundice,
aminoglycoside exposure,
external ear defects,
family history of hearing loss
Risk Factors
Utah:

Rhode Island:
4 patients with prematurity
(1 of 4 w/ aminoglycoside X)


1 pt aminoglycoside exp

8 pts microtia


11 familial pts


TOTAL = 24
(full term pgcy)
(of 73 probands)

3 patients with
prematurity and
aminoglycoside exp
2 familial pts
Others with jaundice,
aminoglycoside exposure,
and non-isolated microtia
TOTAL > 5
(of 20 probands)
Conclusions


Frequency of GJB2 mutations in this population
is consistent with reported estimates
Identification of the etiology of hearing loss
allows for accurate genetic counseling in terms
of recurrence risk, natural history, and
anticipatory guidance.
Conclusions


Incorporation of genetic services into newborn
screening programs for hearing loss is beneficial
for families.
Majority of newborns identified through universal
screening had no clinical risk factors for hearing
loss.
Future Directions

Ascertainment (All)
– pt evaluations in outreach clinics
– website
– parent brochure
– Spanish literature

DNA Testing (Utah and Hawaii)
– Connexin 30 testing
– Pendrin testing
