Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hearing impairment (HI) is a common disease with the highest incidence among sensory defects. Several genes have been identified to affect stereocilia structure causing HI, including the unconventional myosin3A. Interestingly, we noticed that variants in MYO3A gene have been previously found to cause variable HI onset and severity. Using clinical exome sequencing, we identified a novel pathogenic...
