Abstract

The etiology of otosclerosis is unknown. The etiopathogenesis of otosclerosis seems similar to that occurring in Paget’s disease of bone, for which mutations or polymorphisms in several genes have been identified. Among these, TNFRSF11B gene encoding the osteoprotegerin is produced at high levels in the normal inner ear and at low level in active otosclerotic stapes footplates. The aim of this work was to verify the presence of a correlation between the rs2073618 (N3K) polymorphism in the TNFRSF11B gene and otosclerosis. Mutational screening in the TNFRSF11B gene was performed by direct sequencing. SNPs analysis was performed by PCR and by specific restriction enzyme assay with HpaI. The significance of the association was analyzed by statistical specific software. No causative mutation has been identified but the data suggested a strong correlation between the rs2073618 (N3K) polymorphism and otosclerosis. This correlation, however, has been excluded in a case–control study. This study excluded the association between the N3K polymorphism and otosclerosis in Campania region population.
