Abstract excerpt
The EYA4 gene encodes a 640-amino-acid protein that serves as a transcription factor. This protein contains a highly conserved Eya domain (eya-HR) and a variable domain (eya-VR). Mutations of this gene are known to cause postlingual and progressive sensorineural hearing loss, either as non-syndromic (DFNA10) or syndromic hearing loss, depending on the location of truncation of the mutant protein. Since our...
