Extractions: Of the 50% of the genetic forms of hearing loss, an estimated 70% are due to recessive causes, about 15% have a dominant cause; and the remaining 15% include all the other forms of inheritance. GENETIC RECESSIVE 70% NON-GENETIC AND UNKNOWN DOMINANT 15% OTHER GENETIC 15% Genetic scientists subdivide genetic hearing loss into two general categories: "Non-Syndromic" (meaning hearing loss and nothing else) and "Syndromic" (meaning hearing loss with other clinical findings). By far, the more common is Non-syndromic hearing loss which includes 2/3 of all genetic hearing losses.

Extractions: Alport's syndrome Alport's syndrome is a hereditary disease of basement membranes which is characterised by sensorineural deafness and renal failure. Inheritance can be X-linked dominant, autosomal dominant and, rarely, autosomal recessive. More information about the genetics of this condition is available in the linked menu item. Prevalence is about 1:5000. Pathological renal changes in Alport's syndrome include thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and splitting of the lamina densa.

Extractions: This description of the inheritance of Alport's syndrome applies to the 9 out of 10 families who have the commoner genetic problem. Some families are more complicated, and advice should be taken from a specialist in genetics. The need for testing family members will be discussed from the point of view of a man with Alport's syndrome, and then from the point of view of a woman with Alport's syndrome. His parents Alport's syndrome should have been inherited from his mother, though occasionally the genetic abnormality has occurred for the first time in the affected person. His mother should have urine tests for blood. If there is blood in the urine, kidney function and blood pressure should be tested, and a kidney specialist consulted. If the mother is completely clear, the father should be checked, in case there is a rarer variant of Alport's syndrome. His brothers There is a 50:50 chance that a brother will have Alport's syndrome. Urine should be tested for blood. If he has blood in the urine, kidney function and blood pressure should be measured, and a kidney specialist consulted. A brother might have Alport's syndrome, and could pass this onto his daughters. If there is no blood in the urine on several tests, he should not have the Alport's syndrome gene, and so cannot pass the condition onto his children.

Extractions: For Immediate Release BioStratum Announces Agreements with Genzyme for Alport Syndrome Technology and Research Agreements may lead to therapy for serious unmet medical need Research Triangle Park, N.C. - September 25, 2002 - BioStratum Incorporated, a worldwide leader in drug development based on basal lamina research, has signed an agreement granting Genzyme Corporation an option to obtain a worldwide license under BioStratum's patent rights pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment of Alport syndrome. Terms of the option agreement were not disclosed. Under a separate agreement, Genzyme will fund ongoing research under the direction of Dr. Karl Tryggvason, a founder of BioStratum and Professor of Matrix Biology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Tryggvason is studying a potential treatment of Alport syndrome using a gene perfusion technology developed in his laboratory. Dr. Tryggvason is the discoverer of the genetic basis of the basal lamina defects in Alport syndrome. "We are delighted to be collaborating with Genzyme in the development of a gene therapy for this progressive and devastating kidney disease," stated Dr. Claus Kühl, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioStratum. "Patients suffering with Alport syndrome have no proven therapeutic options. By combining Genzyme's expertise in gene therapy with BioStratum's basal lamina research, we believe a therapy for Alport syndrome can eventually be developed."

Extractions: M.D. University of Siena, Italy, 1989 Ph.D. (Medical Genetics). University of Siena, Italy, 1993 Medical Genetics Specialty degree, University of Florence, Italy, 1998 My research interests focus on the causes of nephropathy and mental retardation. For the former, my laboratory is concentrated, since several years, on molecular basis of Alport syndrome, a hereditary nephropathy which may be transmitted both as X-linked as well as an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant trait. We have performed mutation analysis in both COL4A5 gene on the X chromosome and COL4A3/COL4A4 genes on chromosome 2 in several patients. Our results suggest that the autosomal form of Alport syndrome may be a model between dominant and recessive inheritance, leading to important implications for clinical practice and genetic counseling. We have identified several novel mutations in MECP2 gene in patients with Rett syndrome, a neurodegenerative disorders affecting young girls. We have collaborated with Dr. Zappella (Neuropsychiatry, Siena) in an attempt to determine if a genotype/ phenotype correlation exists. We have found that the a benign variant of Rett phenotype, called Presereved Speech Variant, most frequently results from either missense mutations or mutations giving rise to a late truncated form of the MECP2 gene. We will now attempt to find modifier genes which may change prognosis of these patients. Also, we have recently identified a truncating mutation in MECP2, which causes XLMR in males. Thus, mutations in this gene give rise to XLMR different from Rett syndrome.
