Abstract excerpt
OTOG encodes for otogelin, a component of the tectorial membrane. This gene is associated with nonprogressive mild-to-moderate hearing loss. However, no studies have yet identified the association between OTOG variation and severe-to-profound hearing loss. Therefore, to address this issue, a family-based whole-exome sequencing strategy (WES) was carried out. Two unrelated Iranian families with non-syndromic...
