High prevalence of m.1555A > G in patients with hearing loss in the Baikal Lake region of Russia as a result of founder effect. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15342. [PMID: 38961196 PMCID: PMC11222474 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-66254-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial forms account approximately 1-2% of all nonsyndromic cases of hearing loss (HL). One of the most common causative variants of mtDNA is the m.1555A > G variant of the MT-RNR1 gene (OMIM 561000). Currently the detection of the m.1555A > G variant of the MT-RNR1 gene is not included in all research protocols. In this study this variant was screened among 165 patients with HL from the Republic of Buryatia, located in the Baikal Lake region of Russia. In our study, the total contribution of the m.1555A > G variant to the etiology of HL was 12.7% (21/165), while the update global prevalence of this variant is 1.8% (863/47,328). The m.1555A > G variant was notably more prevalent in Buryat (20.2%) than in Russian patients (1.3%). Mitogenome analysis in 14 unrelated Buryat families carrying the m.1555A > G variant revealed a predominant lineage: in 13 families, a cluster affiliated with sub-haplogroup A5b (92.9%) was identified, while one family had the D5a2a1 lineage (7.1%). In a Russian family with the m.1555A > G variant the lineage affiliated with sub-haplogroup F1a1d was found. Considering that more than 90% of Buryat families with the m.1555A > G variant belong to the single maternal lineage cluster we conclude that high prevalence of this variant in patients with HL in the Baikal Lake region can be attributed to a founder effect.

Yu X, Li S, Guo Q, Leng J, Ding Y. The Association Between Mitochondrial tRNA Glu Variants and Hearing Loss: A Case-Control Study. Pharmgenomics Pers Med 2024; 17:77-89. [PMID: 38562431 PMCID: PMC10984097 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s441281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to examine the frequencies of mt-tRNAGlu variants in 180 pediatric patients with non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) and 100 controls. Methods Sanger sequencing was performed to screen for mt-tRNAGlu variants. These mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) pathogenic mutations were further assessed using phylogenetic conservation and haplogroup analyses. We also traced the origins of the family history of probands carrying potential pathogenic mtDNA mutations. Mitochondrial functions including mtDNA content, ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined in cells derived from patients carrying the mt-tRNAGlu A14692G and CO1/tRNASer(UCN) G7444A variants and controls. Results We identified four possible pathogenic variants: m.T14709C, m.A14683G, m.A14692G and m.A14693G, which were found in NSHL patients but not in controls. Genetic counseling suggested that one child with the m.A14692G variant had a family history of NSHL. Sequence analysis of mtDNA suggested the presence of the CO1/tRNASer(UCN) G7444A and mt-tRNAGlu A14692G variants. Molecular analysis suggested that, compared with the controls, patients with these variants exhibited much lower mtDNA copy numbers, ATP production, whereas ROS levels increased (p<0.05 for all), suggesting that the m.A14692G and m.G7444A variants led to mitochondrial dysfunction. Conclusion mt-tRNAGlu variants are important risk factors for NSHL.

[PMID: 38172182 PMCID: PMC10764796 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49530-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the molecular epidemiology characteristics of deafness susceptibility genes in neonates in northern Guangdong and provide a scientific basis for deafness prevention and control. A total of 10,183 neonates were recruited between January 2018 and December 2022 at Yuebei People's Hospital. Among these, a PCR hybridization screening group of 8276 neonates was tested for four deafness genes: GJB2, SLC26A4, mtDNA, and GJB3 by PCR hybridization. Another group used next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect genetic susceptibility genes in 1907 neonates. In PCR hybridization screening group, 346 (4.18%) of 8276 neonates were found to be carriers of the deafness gene. Among these, 182 (2.2%) had GJB2 variants, 114 (1.38%) had SLC26A4 variants, 35 (0.42%) had mtDNA variants, and 15 (0.18%) had GJB3 variants. In NGS Screening Group, 195 out of 1907 neonates were found to be carriers of the deafness gene, with a positive rate of 10.22%. Among these, 137 (7.18%) had GJB2 variants, 41 (2.15%) had SLC26A4 variants, 11 (0.58%) had mtDNA variants, and 6 (0.31%) had GJB3 variants. The prevalence of deafness gene variants was high in Northern Guangdong Province. The most common gene for deafness was GJB2, followed by SLC26A4 and mtDNA. GJB3 variants are rare. Compared with PCR hybridization method, NGS technology can expand the screening scope and greatly improve the detection rate of deafness genes. The c.109G>A of GJB2 was found to occur at a high frequency, which should be considered. Therefore, it is important to conduct neonatal deafness gene screening to prevent and control hereditary deafness.
