Mutation spectrum analysis of 23-site chip neonatal deafness genetic screening
Objective:To analyze the mutation spectrum of 23-site chip newborn deafness genetic screening in Beijing,and to provide basis for genetic counseling and clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The study in-cluded 21 006 babies born in Beijing from December 2022 to June 2023.All subjects underwent newborn deafness genetic screening in Beijing Tongren Hospital,covering 23 variants in 4 genes,the GJB2 gene(c.35delG,c.176_191de116,c.235delC,c.299_300delAT,c.109G>A,c.257C>G,c.512insAACG,c.427C>T,c.35insG),SLC26A4 gene(c.919-2A>G,c.2168A>G,c.1174A>T,c.1226G>A,c.1229C>T,c.1975G>C,c.2027T>A,c.589G>A,c.1707+5G>A,c.917insG,c.281C>T),Mt 12SrRNA(m.1555A>G,m.1494C>T)and GJB3 gene(c.538C>T).The mutation detection rate and allele frequency were analyzed.Results:The overall mutation detection rate was 11.516%(2 419/21 006),with the GJ B2 gene being the most frequently involved at 9.097%(1 911/21 006),followed by the SLC26A4 gene at 2.123%(446/21 006),the GJ B3 gene at 0.362%(76/21 006)and Mt12SrRNA at 0.176%(37/21 006).Among the GJB2 genes,c.109G>A and c.235delC mu-tation detection rates were the highest,with 6.579%(1 382/21 006)and 1.795%(377/21 006),respectively.Of the SLC26A4 genes,c.919-2A>G and c.2168A>G had the highest mutation rates of 1.423%(299/21 006)and 0.233%(49/21 106),respectively.Regarding the allele frequency,GJB2 c.109G>A was the most common vari-ant with an allele frequency of 3.359%(1 411/42 012),followed by the GJB2 c.235delC at 0.897%(377/42 012)and the SLC26A4 c.919-2A>G at 0.719%(302/42 012).Conclusion:23-site chip newborn deafness genetic screening in Beijing showed that GJB2 c.109G>A mutation detection rate and allele frequency were the highest.This study has enriched the epidemiological data of 23-site chip genetic screening mutation profiles for neonatal deafness,which can provide evidence for clinical practice.
