5 Prevalence of Hearing Impairment 28 million Americans 2 million profoundly deaf 1/1000 congenitally deaf 1/3 impaired by age 65 1/2 impaired by age 80 NIDCD National Strategic Research Plan, 1989

6 Genetic hearing loss may be Dominant, recessive, X-linked, mitochondrial, or chromosomal Congenital or have a post-natal onset (prelingual or postlingual) Stable or progressive Conductive, sensorineural or mixed An isolated finding or part of a syndrome

7 Obstacles to Studying Genetic Deafness Inaccessible to direct observation Located in the densest bone in the body Pathological studies are often much delayed Unparalleled genetic heterogeneity Deaf x deaf matings due to linguistic homogamy

23 Modifier Genes of Deafness Modifier gene: a particular allele of one gene affects the expression of a second gene and thereby modifies the phenotype Affect the age of onset, progression, severity, or penetrance of hearing loss May mediate normal or abnormal function; can prevent or worsen the hearing loss caused by the second gene
