Congenital cochlear deafness in mitochondrial diseases related to RRM2B and SERAC1 gene defects. A study of the mitochondrial patients of the CMHI hospital in Warsaw, Poland.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:Although hearing loss is a well-known symptom of mitochondria-related disorders, it is not clear how often it is a congenital and cochlear impairment. The Newborn Hearing Screening Program (NHSP) enables to distinguish congenital cochlear deafness from an acquired hearing deficit. The initial aim of the study was to research the frequency of the congenital cochlear hearing loss among patients with various gene defects resulting in mitochondrial disorders. The research process brought on an additional gain: basing on our preliminary study group of 80 patients, in 12 patients altogether we identified two defected genes responsible for mitochondrial disorders, whose carriers did not pass the NHSP. Finally, these patients were diagnosed with the congenital cochlear deafness. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The results of the NHSP in the patients with mitochondrial disorders diagnosed in our tertiary reference center were analyzed. Only the cases with confirmed mutations were qualified for the study group. The NHSP database included 80 patients with mutations in 31 different genes: 25 nuclear-encoded and 6 mtDNA-encoded. We searched the literature for the presence of a congenital hearing impairment (CHI) in mitochondrial disorders caused by changes in 278 already known genes. RESULTS:For 68 patients from the study group the NHSP test indicated a proper cochlear function and thus suggested normal hearing. For 12 mitochondrial patients, the NHSP test indicated the requirement for the further audiological diagnosis, and finally CHI was confirmed in 8 of them. This latter subset included patients with pathogenic variants in RRM2B and SERAC1, known as "deafness-causing genes". Contrary to our initial expectations, the patients carrying mutations in other "deafness-causing genes": MPV17, POLG, COX10, as well as other mitochondria-related genes, all reported in literature, did not indicate any CHI following the NHSP test. CONCLUSION:Our study indicates that the cochlear CHI is a phenotypic feature of the RRM2B and SERAC1 related defects. The diagnosis of the CHI following the NHSP allows to early distinguish those defects from other mitochondria-related disorders in which the NHSP test result is correct. Wider studies are needed to assess the significance of this observation.
