Abstract
Disease treatment and prevention have improved the human lifespan. Current studies on aging, such as the biological clock and senolytic drugs have focused on the medical treatments of various disorders and health maintenance. However, to efficiently extend the human lifespan to its theoretical maximum, medicine can take a further proactive approach and identify the inapparent disorders that affect the gestation, body growth, and reproductive stages of the so-called "healthy" population. The goal is to upgrade the standard health status to a new level by targeting the inapparent disorders. Thus, future research can shift from reaction, response, and prevention to proactive, quality promotion and vigor prolonging; from single disease-oriented to multiple dimension protocol for a healthy body; from treatment of symptom onset to keep away from disorders; and from the healthy aging management to a healthy promotion design beginning at the birth.

Uehara DT, Freitas ÉL, Alves LU, Mazzeu JF, Auricchio MT, Tabith A, Monteiro ML, Rosenberg C, Mingroni-Netto RC. A novel KCNQ4 mutation and a private IMMP2L-DOCK4 duplication segregating with nonsyndromic hearing loss in a Brazilian family. Hum Genome Var 2015; 2:15038. [PMID: 27081546 PMCID: PMC4785540 DOI: 10.1038/hgv.2015.38] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2015] [Revised: 08/17/2015] [Accepted: 08/24/2015] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Here we describe a novel missense variant in the KCNQ4 gene and a private duplication at 7q31.1 partially involving two genes (IMMP2L and DOCK4). Both mutations segregated with nonsyndromic hearing loss in a family with three affected individuals. Initially, we identified the duplication in a screening of 132 unrelated cases of hearing loss with a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification panel of genes that are candidates to have a role in hearing, including IMMP2L. Mapping of the duplication by array-CGH revealed that the duplication also encompassed the 3′-end of DOCK4. Subsequently, whole-exome sequencing identified the breakpoint of the rearrangement, thereby confirming the existence of a fusion IMMP2L-DOCK4 gene. Transcription products of the fusion gene were identified, indicating that they escaped nonsense-mediated messenger RNA decay. A missense substitution (c.701A>T) in KCNQ4 (a gene at the DFNA2A locus) was also identified by whole-exome sequencing. Because the substitution is predicted to be probably damaging and KCNQ4 has been implicated in hearing loss, this mutation might explain the deafness in the affected individuals, although a hypothetical effect of the product of the fusion gene on hearing cannot be completely ruled out.
