Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant hearing loss is highly heterogeneous. Hearing impairment mainly involves the mid-frequencies (500-2000 Hz) in only a low percentage of the cases. In a Dutch family with autosomal dominant mid-frequency/flat hearing loss, genome-wide SNP analysis combined with fine mapping using microsatellite markers mapped the defect to the DFNA8/12 locus, with a maximum two-point LOD score of 3.52. All exons...
