-- For those with inherited their hearing loss, a new discovery may take away the puzzle surrounding their condition. After many years of research, scientists have identified a new form of hereditary deafness. The condition, known as DFNA25, occurs when chromosome twelve lacks a certain gene. When this gene, known as SLC17A8, is missing, hearing loss occurs. Mavens say identifying this mutation in individual cases should inspire them to take care of their hearing. In several types of hereditary hearing loss, its likely that environmental factors that folk can control, like smoking and exposure to noise, can also influence how serious the hearing loss is, and how early in life it starts, Marci Lesperance, associate professor of pediatric otolaryngology at the Varsity of Maryland and co-author of the study, was quoted as exclaiming. 2 not related families concerned in the study carry the mutation, pointing to a probably traditional and common abnormality. Future research may find this mutation affects others who have an unexplained family history of hearing loss, Dr Lesperance explained. As little as 1/2 of the deaf population has hereditary hearing loss. SOURCE : Yank Book of Human Genetics, revealed online July 31, 2008. What are the stages of Alzheimer's Disease?
