Abstract

In order to investigate essential molecular causes for hearing loss and mutation frequency of deafness-related genes, 1315 newborns who did not pass the Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) (audio-no-pass) and 1000 random-selected infants were subjected to detection for 101 hotspot mutations in 18 common deafness-related genes. Totally, 23 alleles of 7 deafness genes were detected out. Significant difference (χ2=25.320, p=0.000) existed in causative mutation frequency between audio-no-pass group (81/1315, 6.160%) and random-selected cohort (18/1000, 1.80%). Of the genes detected out, GJB2 gene mutation was with significant difference (χ2=75.132, p=0.000) between audio-no-pass group (417/1315, 31.711%) and random-selected cohort (159/1000, 15.900%); c.109G>A was the most common allele, as well as the only one with significantly different allele frequency (χ2=79.327, p=0.000) between audio-no-pass group (392/1315, 16.84%) and random-selected cohort (140/1000, 7.55%), which suggested c.109G>A mutation was critical for newborns' hearing loss. This study performed detection for such a large scale of deafness-associated genes and for the first time compared mutations between audio-no-pass and random-recruited neonates, which not only provided more reliable DNA diagnosis result for medical practioners and enhanced clinical care for the newborns, but gave more accurate estimation for mutation frequency.
