Mutations in CLDN14 are associated with different hearing thresholds.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in CLDN14, encoding tight junction protein claudin 14, cause profound deafness in mice and humans. We identified a Pakistani family, in which the affected individuals were homozygous for a known pathogenic mutation c.254 T>A resulting in p.V85D substitution in CLDN14; however, in contrast to the previously reported families with mutations in CLDN14, most of the affected individuals in this family...
