Abstract excerpt
MITF is a known gene underlying autosomal dominant hearing loss, Waardenburg syndrome (WS). Biallelic MITF mutations have been found associated with a rare hearing loss syndrome consisting eye abnormalities and albinism; and a more severe type of WS whose heterozygous parents were affected with classic WS in both cases. The aims of this study were to identify a new candidate gene causing autosomal recessive...
