Abstract excerpt
With a prevalence of 0.1 %, hearing loss is among the most common sensory impairments and affects several million people around the world. Identification of deafness-related genes or loci may facilitate basic research and clinical translational research of the disorder. The PTPRQ gene encodes protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor Q, which is required for the formation of shaft connectors and the normal maturation...
