ARNSHL gene identification: past, present and future.

Abstract excerpt

Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is the most common hereditary deafness. It is genetically highly heterogeneous and about 89 gene loci and 76 gene's mutations have been implicated in the etiology of ARNSHL. Molecular basis of ARNSHL remains unresolved in 60% of cases and gene mutations are unknown for 23 of 89 reported loci. Techniques used to identify reported ARNSHL gene mutations can be...
