摘要: 目的 分析GSDME基因变异耳聋家系的遗传、听力学特点, 探索其发病特点和致病机制, 以期为患者提供遗传咨询及干预指导。方法 纳入来自中国聋病基因组计划项目的6个迟发性非综合征型听力损失家系, 通过纯音测听、声导抗、言语识别率、听性脑干反应和畸变产物耳声发射等听力学检测评估患者听力水平, 结合病史采集及体格检查分析先证者及其家系成员间的表型差异。应用二代测序检测先证者致病基因, 并使用Sanger测序对家系其他成员进行变异位点验证, 依据美国遗传学与基因组医学委员会指南进行致病性分析。同时, 结合国内外GSDME研究进展, 探讨可能的致聋机制。结果 在6个迟发性非综合征型听力损失家系中, 共30例有听力损失表型, 发病年龄10~50岁(27.88±9.74岁)。遗传学分析鉴定4个GSDME基因剪切变异, 其中2个变异为新发现的变异, 分别是c.991-7C>G和c.1183+1G>T, 且c.991-7C>G是GSDME新发变异。另外2个变异为已报道的GSDME剪切变异, 分别是c.991-1G>C和c.991-15_991-13del, 且c.991-15_991-13del在3个家系中检出。基因型-表型相关分析发现携带c.991-7C>G和c.1183+1G>T变异的先证者均表现为高频下降为主的听力损失表型, 相同变异的3个家系的先证者听力损失程度不一且听力损失的年下降率高于既往报道的0.94 dB HL/年。此外, 随访发现6个家系内的先证者, 有4例接受干预(66.67%), 但干预效果不一。结论 本研究分析GSDME变异相关的6个迟发性非综合征型听力损失家系, 共鉴定4个剪切变异, 其中1个为国内外首个GSDME新发变异, 听力学分析发现患者多在10岁后出现渐进性听力损失, 且不同干预的效果存在差异。

Abstract: Objective To dentify the genetic and audiological characteristics of families affected by late-onset hearing loss due to GSDMEgene mutations, aiming to explore clinical characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms for providing genetic counseling and intervention guidance.Methods Six families with late-onset hearing loss from the Chinese Deafness Genome Project were included. Audiological tests, including pure-tone audiometry, acoustic immittance, speech recognition scores, auditory brainstem response, and distortion product otoacoustic emission, were applied to evaluate the hearing levels of patients. Combining with medical history and physical examination to analyze the phenotypic differences between the probands and their family members. Next-generation sequencing was used to identify pathogenic genes in probands, and validations were performed on their relatives by Sanger sequencing. Pathogenicity analysis was performed according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Guidelines. Meanwhile, the pathogenic mechanisms of GSDME-related hearing loss were explored combining with domestic and international research progress.Results Among the six families with late-onset hearing loss, a total of 30 individuals performed hearing loss. The onset of hearing loss in these families ranged from 10 to 50 years(mean age: 27.88±9.74 years). In the study, four splicing mutations of the GSDME were identified, including two novel variants: c. 991-7C>G and c. 1183+1G>T. Significantly, the c. 991-7C>G was a de novo variant. The others were previously reported variants: c. 991-1G>C and c. 991-15_991-13del, the latter was identified in three families. Genotype-phenotype correlation analysis revealed that probands with the c. 991-7C>G and c. 1183+1G>T performed a predominantly high-frequency hearing loss. The three families carrying the same mutation exhibited varying degrees of hearing loss, with an annual rate of hearing deterioration exceeding 0.94 dB HL/year. Furthermore, follow-up of interventions showed that four of six probands received intervention(66.67%), but the results of intervention varied.Conclusion The study analyzed six families with late-onset non-syndromic hearing loss linked to GSDME mutations, identifying four splicing variants. Notably, c. 991-7C>G is the first reported de novo variant of GSDME globally. Audiological analysis revealed that the age of onset generally exceeded 10 years, with variable effectiveness of interventions.-
