The 1995 All Breed White Deafness Survey As part of the 1995 All Breed White Deafness Survey, a Discussion Paper was drawn up in order to stimulate thought on the heredity of White Linked Deafness in cats. This Paper is reproduced below with footnotes for browsers which support frames. David Brinicombe and may only be reproduced in part or in whole by the permission of David Brinicombe . Permission will not be unreasonably withheld if copying or quoting the Paper is in the interest of research into eliminating White Deafness. All quotes or copies must be attributed to David Brinicombe. Click on these links for Advice for Looking After Deaf Kittens or Cats and Tests for Deafness If you find bugs or have difficulty with it please email me. PRELIMINARY REPORT and DISCUSSION PAPER by David Brinicombe Not all white cats are deaf and it has been reported that there are some populations of Whites which are less prone to deafness that others. If this is so and a risk of white deafness is hereditary, then white deafness is most likely to be influenced by polygenes. Past research has reported a high statistical correlation between blue eyes and deafness in Whites. Not all white cats have blue eyes nor are all white cats deaf, but an independant factor may give rise to both blue eyes and deafness in Whites. A common factor may mean that blue eyes could be a pointer to cats carrying a higher risk of deafness.

It is probably the most developed sensory system in the human apart from vision. The outer, middle and inner ear, hearing nerve and it's central connections allow us to hear what we want to hear while suppressing what we don't want to and attach meanings so that an appropriate response can be made. Hearing is extremely important for the development of spoken language. Those with a pre-lingual profound hearing loss will not have access to speech sounds and hence will not develop oral language, while those with a severe pre-lingual hearing loss will not develop normal speech. Moderate hearing loss may affect speech and (oral) language development and will have a considerable effect on the mainstream education of children. Mild hearing losses also may affect the ability to learn depending on a number of other factors. The incidence of significant permanent congenital hearing loss is about 1 in 1,000 live births. This almost doubles by the age 10 years because of acquired hearing loss from meningitis, mumps, measles, trauma and other causes. Most congenital hearing losses are due to the malfunction of the inner ear but a few are due to malformation of the middle ear ossicles or the ear canal. If the hearing loss is due to a problem within the inner ear, or occasionally due to abnormalities in the hearing nerve, the term sensorineural hearing loss is used. Hearing loss due to a problem within the middle ear or the outer ear is called a conductive hearing loss while a combination is called a mixed loss.

Programmes Last Updated: Wednesday, 28 April, 2004, 15:31 GMT 16:31 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Signing 'increases deafness rates' A mutation in one gene causes 50% of inherited deafness Sign language may be behind rising rates of inherited deafness, according to researchers. The proportion of people who are born with profound hearing loss has doubled over the past 200 years. Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University in the United States have traced the increase back to the introduction of sign language in the early 1800s. They say the introduction of sign language allowed people who are deaf to communicate with each other more easily. They say it also led to many more people with hearing loss marrying. At least 85% of individuals with profound deafness marry another deaf person Professor Walter Nance The researchers believe the decision of so many people with inherited hearing loss to marry has been behind the increase in deafness rates. Gene mutations More than 100 genes are involved in hearing loss. As a result, most people who are deaf have children with normal hearing because they pass on different genes.

Deafness and Hereditary Hearing Loss Overview Authors: Richard JH Smith, MD Glenn Edward Green, MD Guy Van Camp, PhD About the Authors Initial Posting: 14 February 1999 Last Revision 18 December 2003 Summary Disease characteristics. Several hundred genes are known to cause hereditary hearing loss and deafness. The hearing loss may be conductive, sensorineural, or mixed; syndromic or nonsyndromic; and prelingual (before language develops) or postlingual (after language develops). Diagnosis/testing. Genetic forms of hearing loss must be carefully distinguished from acquired (non-genetic) causes of hearing loss. The genetic forms of hearing loss are diagnosed by otologic, audiologic, and physical examination, family history , ancillary testing (such as CT examination of the temporal bone), and DNA-based testing . DNA-based genetic tests are available for many types of syndromic and nonsyndromic deafness, although usually only on a research basis. On a clinical basis, DNA-based testing is available for the diagnosis of branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome gene ), Mohr-Tranebjaerg syndrome (deafness-dystonia-optic atrophy syndrome;
