Одной из проблем детекции вариантов гена STRC является наличие высокогомологичного псевдогена STRCP1 (99,6% идентичности). В связи с этим, при ДНК-тестировании гена STRC используют комбинированный подход, поскольку ни один из методов в отдельности не обнаруживает все типы мутаций. В настоящей работе на выборке из 124 GJB2-негативных пациентов с потерей слуха из Якутии был применен оптимизированный способ идентификации вариаций числа копий (CNV) в локусе STRC. Способ позволяет детектировать гомозиготные случаи протяженных делеций методом стандартной ПЦР с последующей прямой детекцией амплифицированных фрагментов в 8% полиакриламидном геле. Этим способом гомозиготные случаи протяженных делеций были обнаружены у трех пациентов, что составило 2,41% (3/124). Выявленные CNV были верифицированы с использованием аллель-специфической ПЦР c оценкой приблизительных границ делетированных фрагментов, для определения которых была разработана специальная система праймеров. В результате установлено, что у одного пациента протяженная делеция охватывала только ген STRC, у другого –  два гена STRC и CATSPER2, а у третьего пациента делетированными оказались  ген CKMT1A и псевдоген STRCP1. С учетом пораженных индивидов, несущих однозначно каузативные протяженные делеции, захватывающие область гена STRC, в гомозиготном состоянии, вклад DFNB16 у GJB2-негативных пациентов в Якутии составил не менее 1,6% (2/124). Таким образом, оптимизированный способ поиска гомозиготных протяженных делеций методом стандартной ПЦР и разработанная система праймеров для оценки границ выявленных CNV могут быть применимы в качестве основных или альтернативных тестов первой линии для скрининга/верификации протяженных делеций в локусе STRC.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Mutational changes in the STRC gene cause an autosomal recessive form of hearing loss (HL) type 16 (DFNB16, OMIM 603720), which in most cases is characterized by non-progressive, mild or moderate HL. One of the troubles of the testing STRC gene variants is the presence of the STRCP1 pseudogene (99.6% identity). In this regard, to detect and confirm various types of STRC mutations, a combined approach is used, since no single method detects all types of mutations. In this work, on a sample of 124 GJB2-negative patients with HL in Yakutia, we used optimized method for identifying copy number variations (CNVs) in the STRC locus, which allows us to detect homozygous cases of extended deletions using standard PCR, followed by direct detection of amplified fragments in 8% polyacrylamide gel. Using this method, homozygous cases of large deletions were detected in three patients, accounting for 2.41% (3/124). The identified CNV cases were verified using allele-specific PCR with an assessment of the approximate boundaries of the deleted fragments, to determine which we developed a primer system covering the analyzed chromosomal region. As a result, it was established that in one patient the large deletion covered only a copy of the STRC gene, in another – a copy of two genes STRC and CATSPER2, and in the third patient copies of the CKMT1A gene and the STRCP1 pseudogene were deleted. Taking into account affected individuals carrying causative homozygous deletions in the STRC gene region, the contribution of DFNB16 among GJB2-negative patients in Yakutia is at least 1.6% (2/124). Thus, the optimized method for searching for homozygous large deletions using standard PCR and the developed primer system for assessing the boundaries of the identified CNVs can be used as primary or alternative first-line tests for screening/ verification of large deletions in the STRC locus.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ПЦР-анализ</kwd><kwd>вариации числа копий (CNV)</kwd><kwd>ген STRC</kwd><kwd>псевдоген STRCP1</kwd><kwd>DFNB16</kwd><kwd>Якутия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>PCR analysis</kwd><kwd>copy number variation (CNV)</kwd><kwd>STRC gene</kwd><kwd>STRCP1 pseudogene</kwd><kwd>DFNB16</kwd><kwd>Yakutia</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена в рамках Государственного задания Министерства науки и высшего образования РФ (FSRG-20230003) и НИР ЯНЦ КМП «Изучение генетической структуры и груза наследственной патологии в популяциях Республики Саха (Якутия)».</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">YSC CMP “Study of the genetic structure and burden of hereditary pathology of the populations of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)”, Ministry    of Science and Education of the Russian Federation (FSRG-2023-0003).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Han S., Zhang D., Guo Y. et al.
