Mutations in the OTOF gene have been found to be common causes of auditory neuropathy (AN) in Caucasians. However, the prevalence and spectrum of OTOF mutations in other populations have been inadequately documented. To explore the genetic characteristics of East Asian patients with AN, we screened for mutations in the OTOF gene by direct sequencing in 22 unrelated Taiwanese AN families (including 2 multiplex and...
