Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recessive mutations of the SLC26A4 (PDS) gene on chromosome 7q31 can cause sensorineural hearing loss with goiter (Pendred syndrome) or non-syndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss (DFNB4). Furthermore, mutations in the GJB2 gene results in autosomal recessive (DFNB1) and dominant (DFNA3) non-syndromic hearing loss. The aim of the present study was to characterize a family with Pendred syndrome...
