Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Implementation of whole exome sequencing has provided unique opportunity for a wide screening of causative variants in genetically heterogeneous diseases, including nonsyndromic hearing impairment. TRIOBP in the inner ear is responsible for proper structure and function of stereocilia and is necessary for sound transduction. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing was conducted...
