BACKGROUND: Hereditary hearing impairment is a heterogeneous sensory defect with approximately two-thirds of all cases being nonsyndromic. Only two loci (DFNA1 and DFNA6/14/38) are associated with low frequency sensorineural nonsyndromic hearing impairment. DFNA6 was mapped to chromosome 4p16. Recessive mutations in the WFS1 gene are responsible for Wolfram syndrome; missense mutations inherited as an autosomal...
