Abstract excerpt
Deafness is one of the most common sensory disorders found in humans; notably, >60% of all cases of deafness have been attributed to genetic factors. Variants in potassium voltage‑gated channel subfamily Q member 4 (KCNQ4) are etiologically linked to a type of progressive hearing loss, deafness non‑syndromic autosomal dominant 2A (DFNA2A). In the present study, whole‑exome sequencing (WES) was performed on three...
