Abstract excerpt
X-linked inheritance is very rare and is estimated to account for only 1-5% of all nonsyndromic hearing loss cases. We found a multiplex family from China segregating with X-linked nonsyndromic hearing loss. After exclusive analysis of 10 common variations of three hearing loss-related genes, GJB2, mtDNA12srRNA and SLC26A4, a novel truncated variant of SMPX, c.87dupA (p.Gly30Argfs*12) (NCBI ClinVar Submission ID:...
