Hearing Loss, Pendred Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
The presence or absence of SC26A4, whether combined with Mondini malformation, and patient age, are important factors affecting the degree of hearing loss in the Chinese population.
Detailed description
To summarize the Solute Carrier Family 26 Member 4 (SLC26A4) mutation and clinical phenotypic characteristics of Pendred Syndrome/Nonsyndromic Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct (PS/NSEVA) patients and provide evidence supporting the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling of patients with PS/NSEVA. A retrospective cohort study for the Chinese population is needed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SLC26A4 sequencing | through study completion, an average of 0.5 year | Extraction from patient clinical information database and secondary use. From each patient included in the study, 3 ml of peripheral blood was collected and the DNA extracted for the diagonosis in the past. |
| High-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone | through study completion, an average of 0.5 year | Extraction from patient clinical information database and secondary use. High-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone is used to measure the width of the vestibular aqueduct (VA) in the left and right ears to determine whether other inner ear malformations exist. |
| Hearing test | through study completion, an average of 0.5 year | Extraction from patient clinical information database and secondary use. The Auditory Steady State Response test is conducted to evaluate the degree of hearing loss. |
