Otosclerosis in Europe and the United States white ethnic incidence of approximately 0.5%% blacks and fewer appear in the East. Its symptoms are: in the 20 to 30 years or so, hearing gradually lost, 70% percent of patients with unilateral or bilateral tinnitus symptoms. It mainly consists of 3 small — push bone is not normal sponge or hardening. Scientists believe that Otosclerosis and genetic and environmental factors.
Belgium Antwerp University researchers first TGBF1 gene and Otosclerosis. Researchers will 630 Belgium and Netherlands ear sclerosis patients with the same number of healthy persons are compared, it was found that healthy people carry protective TGBF1 variation gene for 7% of% of patients carrying the genes in a crowd of just 2.5%%. France to 457 patients and 497 000 health research also confirmed that the same conclusion.
Recently held at the Nice European human genetics Conference, is responsible for the study of Belgium Antwerp University researchers wear silk in two sets of different groups in different ratios, which genes and Otosclerosis have clear relevance. TGBF1 gene and ear of embryonic development, and on the development of Otosclerosis has important implications. Further research revealed that the genetic variation of many active genes have a protective effect, prevents the occurrence of the disease.
In the past in the treatment of Otosclerosis, general surgical treatment is taken. But when the patient's hearing loss to a certain extent, surgery is sometimes unable to restore the patient's hearing. Experts said that due to the growth and development of the gene and the discovery of the gene, will enable scientists to focus on research and development and the gene-related drugs, for the treatment of Otosclerosis has opened up vast prospects
