Objective: To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with autosomal dominant late-onset non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL).
Methods: Clinical data of the pedigree were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the proband and other family members. Trio whole exome sequencing was carried out for 19 396 genes to identify potential pathogenic variants. Sanger sequencing was carried out to verify the candidate variant in the pedigree.
Results: The proband and his father were found to carry a c.1183+1delG p.? variant of the DFNA5 gene. The variant was confirmed to be co-segregating with the disease phenotype in the pedigree.
Conclusion: The c.1183+1delG p.? variant of the DFNA5 gene probably underlay the late onset NSHL in this pedigree. Above finding has enabled accurate genetic counseling for this pedigree.

Pyroptosis is a novel mode for programmed cell death discovered and confirmed in recent years. The Gasdermins (GSDMs) family is a key effector molecule mediating pyroptosis. As an important cause of extensive inflammatory damage and side effects of conventional chemotherapy drugs, anomalous pyroptosis has also been associated with hearing loss, tumor, and disorders of the immune system.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is the primary treatment option for advanced gastric cancer. However, the current challenge lies in the absence of validated biomarkers to accurately predict the efficacy and sensitivity of 5-FU in individual patients. It has been confirmed that 5-FU can regulate tumor progression by promoting gasdermin E (GSDME, encoded by DFNA5) cleavage to induce pyroptosis.

Article Synopsis
- - Gasdermin E (GSDME), also known as DFNA5, is primarily linked to auditory function, with mutations leading to hearing loss, but it's also expressed in tissues like the kidney and brain.
- - GSDME plays a critical role in cell death processes such as apoptosis and pyroptosis by forming pores in cell and mitochondrial membranes, which can release factors that lead to these cell death pathways.
- - Recent findings suggest that GSDME has tumor-suppressing properties, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. To reduce heterogeneity, large-scale genome-wide association studies have recently identified genome-wide significant loci associated with seven MDD subtypes. However, it was unclear in which tissues the genes near those loci are specifically expressed.

Background: High methylation of the DFNA5 gene results in the absence of GSDME, a key protein that mediates pyroptosis, while decitabine demethylates the DFNA5 gene, resulting in high expression of the GSDME protein. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a novel anti-cancer method that induces tumor cell death.
Methods: The pyroptosis induced by decitabine in combination with CAP in Ovcar5 cells was evaluated.
