Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To identify mutations in the SLC26A4 gene in individuals with nonsyndromic hearing loss and enlarged vestibular aqueduct, to design a predicted model of the pendrin protein, and to characterize novel mutations by means of localization in mammalian cells and effect of the mutation on the predicted model. DESIGN: Validation of the mutation by its exclusion in more than 300 individuals with normal...
