Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the DFNA5 gene are known to cause autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL). To date, five DFNA5 mutations have been reported, all of which were different in the genomic level. In this study, we ascertained a Korean family with autosomal dominant, progressive and sensorineural hearing loss and performed linkage analysis that revealed linkage to the DFNA5 locus on chromosome 7. Sequence...
