Abstract excerpt
Background: Nonsyndromic low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (LFSNHL) is an uncommon form of hearing loss (HL) that typically affects frequencies at 2000 Hz and below. Heterozygous variants in the WFS1 gene at the DFNA6/14/38 locus are considered a common cause of LFSNHL. To date, 34 different pathogenic genetic variants have been reported to cause LFSNHL with seven of these variants identified in the...
