Abstract excerpt
Human ACTG1 mutations are associated with high-frequency hearing loss, and patients with mutations in this gene are good candidates for electric acoustic stimulation. To better understand the genetic etiology of hearing loss cases, massively parallel DNA sequencing was performed on 7,048 unrelated Japanese hearing loss probands. Among 1,336 autosomal dominant hearing loss patients, we identified 15 probands...
