6 How common is hearing loss? There are over 6 million individuals in the United States affected by some degree of hearing impairment. The incidence of hearing loss among children under the age of 3 years is approximately 1 in 500 The incidence of hearing loss among children under the age of 19 years is approximately 1 in 250 In the US, congenital SNHL is 3x more common than Down syndrome, 6x spina bifida, 50x PKU

7 Universal Infant Hearing Screening Benefit of Early Identification Yoshinaga-Itano, 1998

8 50% Environmental Hearing Loss 50% Genetic ototoxic drugs, acoustic trauma, bacterial or viral infection 30% Syndromic Alport Norrie Pendred Usher Waardenburg Branchio-Oto-Renal Jervell and Lange-Neilsen 70% Non-Syndromic 22% Dominant (DFNA 1-40) 77% Recessive (DFNB1-30) 1% X-linked (DFN1-8) <1% Mitochondrial

9 Why Study Hearing Loss? Common genetic disease (2:1000 births) Poster diagnosis for genetic heterogeneity : Over 100 loci identified Many genes identified, yet most causes of hearing loss remain unknown. Mutations are AD, AR, X-linked, mitochondrial, syndromic & non-syndromic Very few individual genes contribute to a significant proportion of the hearing loss population.

36 GJB2 - Connexin 26 Connexin 26 is a beta-2 gap junction protein (GJB2) Coding region is contained in a single large exon which is separated from the 5 untranslated region by an intron of variable size Coding sequence is 681 base pairs which translates into a 226 amino acid protein In the cell membranes of epithelial cells, connexin 26 molecules are in groups of 6 around a central pore which forms a connexon. Connexons bond together to form intercellular channels. Groups of connexons make up gap junctions involved in potassium circulation (Smith et el, Lancet 2005)

37 Common mutations: GJB2 35delG (also reported as 30delG), found in ~ 2/3 of mutated alleles carrier frequency of 2.5%in N. European population 167delT, found specifically in the Ashkenazi Jewish population carrier frequency of 4% 235delC, found in Japanese population carrier rate of 1% Over 90 different variants have been reported

39 The Genomic Era

40 Overview of SNP Array Workflows Bi-allelic SNPs (A or B) DNA is amplified and fragmented Fragmented DNA is hybridized to an array. Each SNP is represented ~20X on the array for technical replication. Genotype and Copy Number information are determined by color and intensity of fluorescence for each SNP on the array Illumina

41 Copy Number Variation Copy number variation (CNV) is normal within the genome. Thousands of sites have been identified, with highly variable numbers. CNV is population specific, suggesting heritability. Many detected CNV are in fact normal and not indicative of genetically significant change. Redon et al, 2006

42 Understanding the Data Log R ratio describes (R subject /R reference ) the normalized intensities of the B allele frequency is plotted below, and is derived from the theta and norm R plots.

43 Understanding the Data A duplication will be indicated by an increase in the LogR ratio and a spreading of the B allele frequencies.

44 Understanding the Data A deletion will be indicated by an decrease in the LogR ratio and a loss of the heterozgous B allele frequencies (LOH).

45 GWAS Approach: Is BLSNHL a Complex Trait?

46 GWAS in 600 BLSNHL probands with no known etiology 2 Loci with statistical significance (LOD scores >10-8 ) on 10q25 and 2p13 Neither replicated (due to presence of variant in AA populations) Some weak GWAS hits for age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) (Huyghe et al AJHG, 2008; Friedman et al, Hum Mol Genet, 2009) and otosclerosis (Schrauwen et al AJHG, 2009)

96 Some Issues with Exome Sequencing for Diagnostics number of variants identified what to report back what are we missing? sifting through the data incidental findings actionable variants (early/late onset) portability of data / integration with EHR

97 Summary Hearing loss is a highly specialized and complex sensory process that as a result is extremely genetically heterogeneous in etiology complicating our diagnostic ability Pediatric BLSNHL is primarily inherited in Mendelian patterns Genetic etiologic diagnosis greatly assists management and counseling New technologies are contributing to our ability to identify genetic causes with SNP arrays and exome/genome sequencing providing valuable diagnostic support as well as forwarding discovery into new causative genes and modifiers
