AI Article Synopsis
- Auditory neuropathy is characterized by a lack of synchrony in the auditory nerve's function, with limited evidence linking it to GJB2 gene mutations.
- A study involving 40 patients analyzed the connection between auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) and GJB2 gene mutations.
- It was found that only 7.5% of the patients had GJB2 mutations, and there was no significant relationship established between these mutations and clinical ANSD.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: The auditory neuropathy is a condition which there is a dyssynchrony in the nerve conduction of the auditory nerve fibers. There is no evidence about the relationship between patients with clinical auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder and mutations in GJB2 gene. There are only two studies about this topic in the medical literature. Connexin 26 (GJB2 gene) mutations are common causes of genetic deafness in many populations and we also being reported in subjects with auditory neuropathy.
Objective: To analyze the pattern of clinical relationship between patients with clinical diagnosis with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder and GJB2 gene.
Patients And Methods: Study Design - Retrospective analysis and genetic evaluation. Setting - Tertiary referral center. Subjects - 40 patients with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder. Intervention - Clinical information and genetic evaluation (GJB2 gene) were analyzed.
Results: Biallelic mutations that accounted for hearing loss (HL) were found in three patients, both with c.35delG mutation in homozygous state. The splice site mutation IVS1+1G>A was detected in heterozygous state in one individual. However, since the second mutant allele was not identified, it was not possible to establish its correlation with the phenotype.
Conclusion: Mutations in GJB2 gene mutations were found in 7.5% of the patients with ANSD. We found no relationship between patients with clinical auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder and mutations in GJB2 gene (>0.05).

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is an auditory dysfunction disorder characterized by impaired speech comprehension. Its etiology is complex and can be broadly categorized into genetic and non-genetic factors. mutation is identified as a causative factor in ANSD.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationships between auditory processing, speech discrimination, and listening and communication abilities in children diagnosed with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) compared to those with normal hearing.
Methods: This was a case-control study involving seventeen participants with a diagnosis of ANSD who used spoken language as their primary mode of communication and wore hearing aids or were unaided and 21 normally hearing controls. All underwent a battery of behavioural measures of hearing, speech perception and auditory processing skills.

Background: Non-isolated auditory neuropathy (AN), or syndromic AN, is marked by AN along with additional systemic manifestations. The diagnostic process is challenging due to its varied symptoms and overlap with other syndromes. This study focuses on two mitochondrial function-related genes which result in non-isolated AN, FDXR and TWNK, providing a summary and enrichment analysis of genes associated with non-isolated AN to elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlation and underlying mechanisms.

Purpose: The present systematic review examined imaging findings in the Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) population.
Methods: Electronic databases such as Pub Med, Google Scholar, J Gate, and Science Direct were used to conduct a literature search. The articles retrieved through the literature search were assessed in two stages.
