Abstract excerpt
A kindred with inherited macrothrombocytopenia (MTCP) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) from Ghent, Belgium was identified. Currently, joint expression of MTCP and hearing loss are linked to mutations within MYH9 only. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that a mutation within MYH9 is responsible for the autosomal dominant inheritance of MTCP and hearing loss in the Ghent family. A mutation screen of MYH9 coding...
