ABSTRACT. Age-related hearing loss is a common disorder defined as the loss of the hearing with aging. In the United States, approximately 33% of the population between ages of 65 and 74 are subjected to hearing loss, and after 75 years of age, about 50% of the population have hearing problems. There are many causes of age-related hearing loss, including age-induced changes in the in the inner and middle ear and also complex changes along the nerve pathways from the ear to the brain. Epidemiological studies, such as The Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004, have shown that the major risk factors for age-related hearing loss are noise exposure and smoking. Very limited information is available regarding the molecular pathways involved in age-related hearing loss and how smoking behaviors increase its risk. Our previous results suggest that genetic variation can play a role in moderating the effect of smoking on age-related hearing loss reducing smoking-induced damage in brain regions involved in auditory function. In the current proposal, we will apply genome-wide approaches to identify additional mechanisms involved in the age-related hearing loss induced by smoking behaviors. Specifically, we will conduct a genome-wide association study of age- related hearing loss in more than 500,000 subjects (>150,000 nicotine-exposed, >350,000 nicotine-unexposed). We will use the genetic and phenotypic information from cohorts from the UK Biobank, the Nurses' Health Studies I and II, the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes to conduct a genome-wide association study of hearing loss in individuals exposed to nicotine. A follow-up study will be performed with respect brain structure and activity using magnetic resonance imaging data from the UK Biobank. Additionally, we will conduct a multivariable Mendelian Randomization to investigate which metabolomic alterations and/or brain-structure changes mediate the causal relationship between smoking and hearing loss. The goal of this analysis is to verify the causal effect and the mediation processes involved in the interplay between smoking behaviors and hearing loss. The expected findings will provide novel insights regarding the molecular mechanisms by which smoking behaviors cause age-related hearing loss A better understanding of its genetics could permit us to develop more effective preventive strategies and therapeutic approaches that can improve the quality of life of the growing elderly population.

抽象的。与年龄相关的听力损失是一种常见的疾病，定义为听力丧失 随着衰老。在美国，大约33％的人口在65至74岁之间 受到听力损失，75岁后，大约50％的人口有听力 问题。与年龄相关的听力损失有很多原因，包括年龄引起的变化 内耳和中耳中的复杂沿着耳朵的神经通路发生变化 到大脑。流行病学研究，例如听力损失研究的流行病学和 1999 - 2004年国家健康和营养检查调查表明，主要风险 与年龄相关的听力损失的因素是噪声暴露和吸烟。信息非常有限 有关与年龄相关的听力损失及其吸烟的分子途径有关 行为增加了风险。我们先前的结果表明，遗传变异可以在 调节吸烟对年龄相关的听力损失的影响减少吸烟引起的损害 在涉及听觉功能的大脑区域中。在当前的建议中，我们将应用全基因组 确定与年龄相关的听力损失涉及的其他机制的方法 通过吸烟行为。具体而言，我们将对年龄的全基因组进行研究 超过500,000名受试者的相关听力损失（> 150,000个尼古丁暴露，> 350,000 尼古丁无暴露）。我们将使用来自同类的遗传和表型信息 英国生物库，护士健康研究I和II，卫生专业人员的后续研究，以及 国家生物技术信息中心的基因型和表型数据库 对暴露于尼古丁的个体的听力损失进行全基因组的关联研究。一个 随访研究将使用磁性进行尊重大脑结构和活性 来自英国生物库的共振成像数据。此外，我们将进行多变量 Mendelian随机化研究哪些代谢组改变和/或脑结构 变化介导吸烟与听力损失之间的因果关系。目标的目标 分析是为了验证因果关系和相互作用所涉及的中介过程 在吸烟行为和听力损失之间。预期的发现将提供新颖的见解 关于吸烟行为引起与年龄有关的听力损失的分子机制 更好地了解其遗传学可以使我们发展更有效的预防性 策略和治疗方法可以改善成长中的老年人的生活质量 人口。
