Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is a highly heterogeneous disease, for which more than 70 genes have been identified. MYO15A mutations have been reported to cause congenital severe-to-profound HL. In this study, we applied the whole exome sequencing (WES) to find the cause of HL in an Iranian family. A proband from an Iranian non-consanguineous family with hearing impaired parents, was...
