Segregation of enlarged vestibular aqueducts in families with non-diagnostic SLC26A4 genotypes
2 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hearing loss with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) can be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait caused by bi-allelic mutations of SLC26A4. However, many EVA patients have non-diagnostic SLC26A4 genotypes with only one or no detectable mutant alleles. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, the authors were unable to detect occult SLC26A4 mutations in EVA patients with non-diagnostic genotypes by...
