6. Autosomal and X-Linked Auditory Disorders

179

A possible pitfall to this line of associative reasoning is that a syndrome may be caused by a contiguous gene deletion, or by linked mutations in separate genes. In this circumstance, a hearing loss gene may be altered in association with a separate gene(s) causing pathology in another organ system. This was observed in a kindred originally used to identify DFNB1 (Kelsell et al. 1997) in which autosomal dominant palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) was also segregating. Clinical ascertainment of that pedigree identified 3 individuals with PPK but without hearing loss, and linkage of

GJB2 was demonstrated with the hearing loss phenotype but not the PPK phenotype. This kindred illustrates how contiguous gene deletions or co-segregation of mutations have the potential to confound the linkage analysis and any conclusions regarding shared pathogenetic mechanisms between the affected organ systems.

Approximately 100 genes for syndromic hearing loss have now been mapped, and over 60 of these have been identified (Table 6.5). Some of these genes and their corresponding mutations have provided interesting and novel insights into the development and function of the auditory system. The following review will focus on six forms of syndromic hearing loss in which at least some of the causative genes have been identified, and the resulting molecular data has raised and/or answered important questions regarding the molecular basis of auditory function and hearing impairment. A discussion of all forms of syndromic hearing loss (Gorlin et al. 1995) in which the genes have been mapped or identified would require its own volume. Table 6.5 summarizes some of the essential features of approximately 100 forms of syndromic hearing loss.

It is clinically important to identify the cause of hearing loss in families where in auditory dysfunction is accompanied by other serious problems, such as heart conduction problems (Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome), progressive nephritis (Alport syndrome), or progressive loss of vision

(Usher syndrome). Within the congenitally hearing impaired population, the incidences of these three syndromes are estimated to be 0.25%, 1.0%, and 3 to 8%, respectively (Gorlin et al. 1995; Vernon 1959). Hearing loss may be detected before manifestation of other organ system pathologies in all three of these syndromes. For example, the hearing loss in Jervell and Lange–Nielsen syndrome may be evident before the onset of fainting attacks or detection of a cardiac arrhythmia. Life-saving anti-arrhythmic therapy may thus be initiated prophylactically (Ackerman 1998).

5.1 Stickler Syndrome

5.1.1 Phenotype

Stickler syndrome (OMIM 108300, 184840) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by progressive sensorineural hearing loss, skeletal dysplasia, craniofacial dysmorphism, cataracts, and myopia. Marshall syndrome

180 A.J. Griffith and T.B. Friedman

(OMIM 154780) has a similar phenotype, but may be distinguished by a more severe degree of hearing loss and its unique pattern of craniofacial dysmorphism persisting into adulthood (Annunen et al. 1999; Ayme and Preus 1984; Marshall 1958) (Fig. 6.5). The sensorineural hearing loss in these disorders begins during early childhood and progresses over the ensuing decades. The hearing loss is occasionally mixed (Lucarini et al. 1987) and may be due to otitis media or its sequelae, especially in affected children.

Given the characteristic skeletal abnormalities, it is reasonable to postulate that the sensorineural hearing loss might be associated with gross morphogenetic abnormalities of the inner ear. However, there are no reports of temporal bone histopathology for these disorders, although computed tomography (CT) scans of temporal bones of 19 Stickler’s syndrome patients and three Marshall syndrome patients have revealed no abnormalities (Griffith et al. 2000b; Szymko et al. 2000). Therefore, the bony anatomy of the inner ear is at least grossly normal in these disorders.

These facial features persisting into adulthood are characteristic of Marshall syndrome and include severe midfacial growth deficiency, a small upturned nose, and a prominent forehead.
