Objective: Whereas a few studies have evaluated vestibular involvement in Fabry disease (FD), the relationship between vestibular/oculomotor abnormalities and disease-specific biomarkers remain unclear. Therefore, we seek to evaluate these quantitatively and analyze their relationship with disease phenotype and biomarkers in FD.
Methods: This cohort study enrolled 37 Chinese FD patients registered in our center.

Introduction: Anorectal malformations (ARM) are an anatomically complex in which anorectum is either agenesic or communicates with neighboring organs. They are rarely found in adolescents. The aim of this study was to describe and discuss according to literature the three cases of ARM in adolescents.

Objective: Although NOG variants are linked to congenital stapes fixation and conductive hearing loss (CHL), little is known about middle ear surgery outcomes and the characteristics of accompanying inner ear anomalies. We explored auditory phenotypes in patients with NOG variants, with a focus on the outcomes of middle ear surgery.
Methods: This study included 11 patients from five unrelated Korean families harboring NOG variants.

Background: Familial Meniere's disease (FMD) is a rare polygenic disorder of the inner ear. Mutations in the connexin gene family, which encodes gap junction proteins, can also cause hearing loss, but their role in FMD is largely unknown.
Methods: We retrieved exome sequencing data from 94 individuals in 70 Meniere's disease (MD) families.

The inner ear houses both hearing and balance sensory modalities. The hearing and balance organs consist of similar cell types, including sensory hair cells and associated supporting cells. Previously we showed that is required for maintaining supporting cell survival during cochlear maturation.
