Abstract excerpt
The specific association of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) or early-onset severe retinal dystrophy (LCA-like) with sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) is uncommon. Recently, we ascribed some of these distinctive associations to dominant and de novo mutations in the β-tubulin 4B isotype-encoding gene (TUBB4B), providing a link between a sensorineural disease and anomalies in microtubules behavior. Here, we report...
