About this study

Official title: Systematic Review of Phenotype Characteristics of DFNA9 Caused by the Pro51 Ser (P51S) Mutation in COCH

Gene mutations account for more than 60% of congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in Western Countries. Hereditary SNHL does not necessarily start at birth, however, as many causative gene mutations only begin to express at much later ages, such as for example DFNA9, also known as the ninth discovered autosomal dominant SNHL.

It is characterized by a late onset of rapid progressive SNHL together with accompanying vestibular impairment. The first reported DFNA9 patients were carrying the c.151 C>T mutation in COCH, which is the result of a substitution of cytosine by thymine nucleotide of the 151th base pair (c.151C>T). At protein level, this missense point mutation induces a mistranslation to a serine instead of a proline amino-acid (p.Pro51Ser, (P51S)), producing mutant cochlin that cause a dominant negative effect due to misfolding.

In the perspective of promising future hearing and vestibular treatment developments, such as gene therapy, stem cell therapy, neural regeneration, in association with cochlear and/or vestibular implantation, a more accurate understanding of the onset of the very first signs of the auditory and vestibular deterioration is important. However, in early stages these first signs of impairment are very discrete and pre-symptomatic.

The aim of this systematic review is to identify studies related to DFNA9, caused by the P51S COCH variant, describing detailed genotype-phenotype correlation in relation to the age and to investigate the age of onset of the SNHL and peripheral vestibular function as well as their progression in relation to age.

Read the detailed description

The strategy and methodology used for the systematic review was based on the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ISI Web of Knowledge and Web of Science were searched. Information was retrieved about COCH mutations causing DFNA9, including phenotype, genotype, audiometric and vestibular data.

Audiometric data were collected using individual measurements or pure tone average incides in the selected records.In case of different audiometric data presentation, for instance audiograms or different pure tone average (PTA) plots against age, a comprehensive assessment and inventory of all individual measurements was conducted. All available measurements at both ears per frequency were inventoried and a binaural mean value for each frequency per age was averaged, before the calculation of the indices. If longitudinal measurements of the same individual were shown, all the available data was included in the assessment.

The following parameters for the audiometric data were inventoried: pure tone average (PTA), Annual Threshold detarioration (ATD) per frequency and/or PTA, Age-related Typical Audiogram (ARTA) and age of onset of the sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).

For the vestibular function, all different parameters of the vestibular function were inventoried. Normative values, if mentioned, were used to evaluate the measurements. An overall inventory of all individual vestibular measurements in relation to age was conducted.

The following parameters for the vestibular function were inventoried: Time Constant (T) derived from velocity-step test (VST) in seconds, Caloric response gain on electronystagmography, Annual vestibular deterioration rate and age of onset of vestibular dysfunction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of DFNA9, run by Jessa Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

age of onset sensorineural hearing loss (time frame: 10 years). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Oct 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
