Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have confirmed the utility of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) in addressing genetically heterogeneous hereditary hearing impairment. By applying a MPS diagnostic panel targeting 129 known deafness genes, we identified a novel frameshift GATA3 mutation, c.149delT (p.Phe51LeufsX144), in a hearing-impaired family compatible with autosomal dominant inheritance. The GATA3 haploinsufficiency is...
