Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the TECTA gene, which encodes alpha-tectorin, are associated with both dominant (DFNA8/A12) and recessive (DFNB 21) modes of inherited nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss, respectively. Although clinical data and genetic analysis for TECTA gene have been reported from different groups, there is no report that compound heterozygous mutations in the TECTA gene result in nonsyndromic sensorineural...
