Basic Genetics - Causes Of Hearing Loss - My Baby's Hearing There are over 400 known genetic causes involving hearing loss. alport syndrome Hearing loss in alport syndrome may be sensorineural, conductive or http://www.babyhearing.org/HearingAmplification/Causes/genetics.asp
Extractions: Of the 50% of the genetic forms of hearing loss, an estimated 70% are due to recessive causes, about 15% have a dominant cause; and the remaining 15% include all the other forms of inheritance. GENETIC RECESSIVE 70% NON-GENETIC AND UNKNOWN DOMINANT 15% OTHER GENETIC 15% Genetic scientists subdivide genetic hearing loss into two general categories: "Non-Syndromic" (meaning hearing loss and nothing else) and "Syndromic" (meaning hearing loss with other clinical findings). By far, the more common is Non-syndromic hearing loss which includes 2/3 of all genetic hearing losses. SYNDROMIC NON-SYNDROMIC RECESSIVE RECESSIVE NON-GENETIC AND UNKNOWN DOMINANT DOMINANT OTHER GENETIC OTHER GENETIC What is the Most Common form of genetic hearing loss?

New Zealand Kidney Foundation - Fact Sheets, Alports Syndrome alports syndrome is a relatively uncommon genetic disease that causes How is alports inherited? The genetics of the syndrome are quite complicated. http://www.nzkidneyfoundation.co.nz/main/article_000056.html
Extractions: Alports syndrome is a relatively uncommon genetic disease that causes progressive kidney damage. The disease affects the tiny blood vessels of the kidney (the glomeruli), causing a gradual but persistent process of destruction that reduces their capacity to filter waste from the blood, leading to kidney failure in many cases. Alports syndrome affects about 2 in 10,000 people. It is usually much more severe in men than women. Males with Alports syndrome inevitably develop kidney failure, but kidney failure in females is unusual. The age at which boys with Alports syndrome develop kidney failure varies from family to family. It may occur as early as 15-20 years of age, but in some families, kidney failure does not develop until the men are 40-50 years of age. About 15-20 percent of those with Alports syndrome do not have a family history of the disease. In these cased, Alports occurs as a result of a new mutation in the gene that determines the presence of the condition. If this is the case, the affected person will be the first member of the family to develop the disease.

Frascá , Andrea Onetti-Muda , Alessandra Renieri Nephrology and Dialysis Unit, "St. Orsola" Hospital, Bologna - Italy Department of Experimental Medicine and Pathology, "La Sapienza" University, Rome - Italy Institute of Medical Genetics, "Le Scotte" Polyclinic Hospital, Siena - Italy Key words: Thin basement membrane disease, Benign familial hematuria, Alport syndrome, Type IV collagen, Glomerulopathies Introduction Thin glomerular basement membrane disease (TBMD) is a definition frequently used for patients with isolated persistent microscopic hematuria and thinning of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) at electron microscopy examination, without the typical ultrastructural alterations of Alport syndrome (AS). Since a first-degree relative is frequently affected and usually patients do not progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), it has also been called "benign familial hematuria" (BFH). This definition, however, is no longer satisfactory, since the disease may be sporadic, and no familial occurence may be evident; in addition, the term "benign" is misleading because some patients may progress towards chronic renal failure (CRF). Again, the name itself "thin glomerular basement membrane disease", is not entirely appropriate since it is not yet clear whether this ultrastructural alteration is always pathological; thin GBM is not a specific finding and may also be detected in early AS or in association with other glomerular diseases.

Alport's syndrome is the prototype of basement membrane disease characterized by a structural defect of the noncollagenous portion of type IV collagen. Eighty-five percent of patients show X-linked inheritance but autosomal recessive and dominant forms also have been described. The X-linked and autosomal recessive forms have in common renal, audiologic, and ophthalmologic manifestations. Fleck and dot retinopathy, anterior lenticonus, and posterior polymorphous-like dystrophy of the cornea are the most common eye manifestations. Several other ocular manifestations have been described but not seen uniformly. Ocular abnormalities have not clearly been described in the rare autosomal dominant form. The purpose of this report is to present a patient with Alport's syndrome and evidence of moderately severe retinal degeneration.

Frequently Asked Questions >> Hearing Loss in Kids Hearing Loss in Kids What is hearing loss? Hearing loss is any amount of impairment in hearing, from temporary and slight hearing loss to profound hearing loss. Ear infections that produce fluid in the middle ear can cause temporary hearing loss that goes away when the fluid is removed. Here are some other types of hearing loss: Conductive hearing loss : sound waves which hit the ear drum are not properly transmitted from the ear drum into the inner ear where the hearing nerve resides.
