Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To date, seven DFNA5 mutations have been reported in families with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss worldwide. All the mutations cause exon 8 skipping at the mRNA level, that led to the protein truncated and the protein could exert a gain of ototoxic function. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we found an autosomal-dominant non-syndromic hearing loss Chinese pedigree which spanned four...
