Abstract excerpt
TMC1, a second-tier deafness gene below GJB2, is an appreciable cause of recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNB7/11) in North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of South Asia. Additionally, a single founder mutation, c.100C>T (p.Arg34X), dominates the TMC1 mutation spectrum. We investigated the frequency of TMC1 c.100C>T in a large set of British Asians with hearing loss, collectively a group with high...
