Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness (ARNSD) is characterized by a high degree of genetic heterogeneity, with reported mutations in 58 different genes. This study was designed to detect deafness-causing variants in a multiethnic cohort with ARNSD by using whole-exome sequencing (WES). METHODS: After excluding mutations in the most common gene, GJB2, we performed WES in 160 multiplex families with...
