Official title
Patient Registry for Individuals With CABP2-Associated Hearing Loss
Overview
This registry is designed to collect comprehensive information about the molecular genetic diagnoses and clinical information of individuals with CABP2-associated hearing impairment to support a natural history study.
Detailed description
A patient registry, in both German and English languages, has been established for patients with hereditary hearing impairment due to variants in CABP2. The study is conducted in accordance with the current version of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol and database structure have been approved by the Ethics Committee of the University Medical Center Goettingen.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Molecular genetic testing and audiometry
Genetic testing and audiometry are the interventions of interest
Primary outcome measures
- Pure-tone audiometry [Time frame: 1 year, year 1, according to participant consent]
- Speech audiometry [Time frame: 1 year, year 1, according to participant consent]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Otoacoustic emission thresholds [Time frame: 1 year, year 1, according to participant consent]
- Auditory brainstem response [Time frame: 1 year, year 1, according to participant consent]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- A molecular genetic diagnosis involving biallelic variants in CAPB2 and audiometry
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with evidence of non-CABP2 molecular genetic diagnoses
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
Healthy volunteers: No
