Abstract excerpt
We have now identified seven MYO15A mutations that cause congenital profound neurosensory hearing loss and a possible hypomorphic allele of MYO15A associated with moderately-severe hearing loss in 1 of 8 SMS patients. Because myosin XVA is encoded by 66 exons, screening for mutations in hearing-impaired individuals is expensive and labor-intensive in comparison to a screen for mutations in GJB2 (Cx26), for...
