Table 1: Diagnostic Criteria for Meniere's Disease Table 1: Diagnostic criteria for Meniere’s disease. A) Two or more spontaneous episodes of vertigo, each lasting 20 minutes to 12 hours. B) Low- to medium frequency hearing loss in one ear during or after one of the episodes of vertigo C) Fluctuating aural symptoms in the affected ear D) Not better accounted for by another vestibular diagnosis Familial MD patients were included only if, at least, one other relative (first or second degree) fulfilled all the criteria of definite or probable MD (Lopez-Escamez et al. 2015).

Autosomal recessive Alasti F, Jorssen E, Farrokhi E, Chaleshtori non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) is responsible for MH, Van Camp G. 2011. A 1 bp deletion in the 70–80% of all hereditary cases of HI. ARNSHI is genetically highly dual reading frame deafness gene LRTOMT heterogeneous and until today mutations in 37 genes have been causes a frameshift from the first into the identified [Van Camp and Smith, 2011]. One of the latest genes for second reading frame. ARNSHI is LRTOMT (at locus DFNB63 on 11q13.3-q13.4). The Am J Med Genet Part A 155:2021–2023. structure of human LRTOMT has only recently been elucidated [Ahmed et al., 2008]. LRTOMT is an evolutionary recent fusion gene with alternative reading frames that exclusively exists in analysis was performed on an ABI 3130XL DNA sequence primates and is a fusion of non-primate Lrrc51 (Leucine rich repeat analyzer (Applied Biosystems Inc., Foster City, CA), using standard containing 51) and Tomt (Transmembrane O-methyltransferase) procedures.

Gordon, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, and approved June 11, 2010 (received for review February 17, 2010) In innate immune sensing, the detection of pathogen-associated proteins have been implicated in human diseases to date, notably molecular patterns by recognition receptors typically involve polymorphisms in NOD2 in Crohn disease (8, 9), CIITA in leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). We provide a categorization of 375 rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (10), and TLR5 in human LRR-containing proteins, almost half of which lack other Legionnaire disease (11). identifiable functional domains. We clustered human LRR proteins Most LRR domains consist of a chain of between 2 and 45 by first assigning LRRs to LRR classes and then grouping the proteins LRRs (12). Each repeat in turn is typically 20 to 30 residues long based on these class assignments, revealing several of the resulting and can be divided into a highly conserved segment (HCS) fol- protein groups containing a large number of proteins with certain lowed by a variable segment (VS).

Here, we report a genetic analysis of seven large consanguineous families segregating prelingual sensorineural hearing loss. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed seven different pathogenic variants segregating with hearing loss in these families, three novel variants (c.1204G>A, c.322G>T, and c.5587C>T) in TMPRSS3, ESRRB, and OTOF, and four previously reported variants (c.208C>T, c.6371G>A, c.226G>A, and c.494C>T) in LRTOMT, MYO15A, KCNE1, and LHFPL5, respectively. All identified variants had very low frequencies in the control databases and were predicted to have pathogenic effects on the encoded proteins. In addition to being familial, we also found intersibship locus heterogeneity in the evaluated families. The known pathogenic c.226C>T variant identified in KCNE1 only segregates with the hearing loss phenotype in a subset of affected members of the family GCNF21.

Admiraal,1,3 Ignacio del Castillo,5,6 and Hannie Kremer1,2,3,4,* Already 40 genes have been identified for autosomal-recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment (arNSHI); however, many more genes are still to be identified. In a Dutch family segregating arNSHI, homozygosity mapping revealed a 2.4 Mb homozygous region on chro- mosome 11 in p15.1-15.2, which partially overlapped with the previously described DFNB18 locus. However, no putative pathogenic variants were found in USH1C, the gene mutated in DFNB18 hearing impairment. The homozygous region contained 12 additional annotated genes including OTOG, the gene encoding otogelin, a component of the tectorial membrane. It is thought that otogelin contributes to the stability and strength of this membrane through interaction or stabilization of its constituent fibers. The murine orthologous gene was already known to cause hearing loss when defective.

Gordon, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, and approved June 11, 2010 (received for review February 17, 2010) In innate immune sensing, the detection of pathogen-associated proteins have been implicated in human diseases to date, notably molecular patterns by recognition receptors typically involve polymorphisms in NOD2 in Crohn disease (8, 9), CIITA in leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). We provide a categorization of 375 rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (10), and TLR5 in human LRR-containing proteins, almost half of which lack other Legionnaire disease (11). identifiable functional domains. We clustered human LRR proteins Most LRR domains consist of a chain of between 2 and 45 by first assigning LRRs to LRR classes and then grouping the proteins LRRs (12). Each repeat in turn is typically 20 to 30 residues long based on these class assignments, revealing several of the resulting and can be divided into a highly conserved segment (HCS) fol- protein groups containing a large number of proteins with certain lowed by a variable segment (VS).
