Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment.

Abstract excerpt

Nearly all genes that have been localized for autosomal dominantly inherited hearing impairment are characterized by postlingual hearing loss that is progressive in nature. This auditory phenotype is in contrast to that of genes localized for autosomal recessive hearing impairment, which generally cause nonprogressive severe-to-profound or profound prelingual hearing loss.
