OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the auditory, vestibular, and retinal characteristics of a large American DFNA11 pedigree with autosomal dominant progressive sensorineural hearing loss that first impacts the low- and mid-frequency auditory range. The pedigree (referred to as the HL2 family) segregates a myosin VIIA (MYO7A) mutation in exon 17 at DNA residue G2164C (MYO7A) that seems to be influenced by a genetic modifier...
