Abstract excerpt
Classical studies have demonstrated genetic heterogeneity for nonsyndromic autosomal recessive congenital neurosensory deafness. The first two DFNB1 and DFNB2 locations were found using two consanguineous Tunisian families respectively from north and south. We tested these loci for cosegregation with deafness in twenty four southern families with nonsyndromic presumed congenital sensorineural deafness and a...
