Abstract excerpt
The DFNA25 locus for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss has been mapped to 12q21-q24 by linkage analysis. A de novo deletion in a six-year-old boy with congenital hearing loss as well as mental and motor retardation now provides independent confirmation of this genetic localization and narrows the critical interval to 13 cM in the 12q22-q24.1 region. Mapping of the deletion was performed...
