Abstract excerpt
Only three autosomal dominant hearing loss loci (DFNA1, DFNA6/14/38 and DFNA54) have been reported to be associated with predominantly low-frequency (<2kHz) sensorineural hearing impairment (LFSNHI). The DFNA6 locus was previously mapped to chromosome 4p16.3. It was showed that WFS1 is located in this region. This study presents a six-generation family from Hungary with nonsyndromic, post-lingual, bilateral,...
