Abstract excerpt
The locus for a type of an autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (ARND), DFNB13, was previously mapped to a 17-cm interval of chromosome 7q34-36. We identified two consanguineous Tunisian families with severe to profound ARND. Linkage analyses with microsatellites surrounding the previously identified loci detected linkage with markers corresponding to the DFNB13 locus in both families. Haplotype analyses...
