Abstract excerpt
The combined DFNB7-DFNB11 deafness locus maps to chromosome 9q13-q21 between markers D9S1806 and D9S769. We have determined the cDNA sequence and genomic structure of a novel gene, TMEM2, that maps to this interval and is expressed in the cochlea. The mouse orthologue of this gene (Tmem2) maps to the murine dn (deafness) locus on mouse chromosome 19. Screens for transmembrane helices reveal the presence of at...
