Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: POU3F4 is the causative gene for X-linked deafness-2 (DFNX2), characterized by incomplete partition type III (IP-III) malformation of the inner ear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and molecular findings in IP-III patients by Sanger or nanopore single-molecule sequencing. METHODS: Diagnosis of IP-III was mainly based on clinical characteristics including...
