Abstract excerpt

It is rarely reported that two distinct genetic mutations affecting hearing have been found in one family. We report on a family exhibiting comorbid mutation of GJB2 and WFS1. A four-generation Japanese family with autosomal dominant sensorineural hearing loss was studied. In 7 of the 24 family members, audiometric evaluations and genetic analysis were performed.
