Monogenic hearing loss
Gene: TOP2B
Comment on list classification: Changing the rating from grey to amber. 1 familial case plus 3 sporadic cases reported. Supportive animal model. All reported in one publication so will wait until there is an additional supporting familial case before rating green.Created: 8 Sep 2020, 9:09 p.m. | Last Modified: 8 Sep 2020, 9:09 p.m.

PMID: 31198993 - Xia et al 2019 - Whole-exome sequencing was performed on seven affected and six unaffected members in a large Chinese family with autosomal-dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss. A variant in TOP2B (c.G4837C:p.D1613H) segregated with hearing loss in this family. Two other variants of TOP2B were detected in 66 sporadic patients with hearing loss (p.L721F and p. K1435del, plus another case with p.D1613H). In zebrafish, top2b knockdown led to defects in the inner ears and caused downregulation of akt which resulted in inactivation of PI3K-Akt signalling.Created: 8 Sep 2020, 9:02 p.m. | Last Modified: 8 Sep 2020, 9:08 p.m.
