Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the heavy chain of the class II nonmuscle myosin, MYH14, cause autosomal dominant hearing loss in families linked to the DFNA4 locus. Consistent with this discovery, we identified an S120L mutation in MYH14 in a large German family segregating deafness that links to DFNA4. However, complete screening of the American family that originally defined the DFNA4 locus revealed no mutations in this gene....
