Summary

Genetic deletions in the STRC gene cause stereocilin deficiency, leading to hearing loss and, in some cases, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in children. This study highlights BPPV in siblings with DFNB16, suggesting a vestibular link.

Equilibrium and Balance

The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...
