Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the transmembrane channel-like gene 1 (TMC1) have been shown to cause autosomal dominant and recessive forms of congenital nonsyndromic deafness linked to the loci DFNA36 and DFNB7/B11, respectively. In a Sudanese pedigree affected by an apparently recessive form of nonsyndromic deafness, we performed a linkage analysis using markers covering the deafness loci DFNB1 - DFNB30. A two-point LOD score of...
