Abstract excerpt
Despite advances in the genetic diagnosis of hearing loss, there remains room for improvement. One way to improve the genetic diagnostic rate is the proper assessment of synonymous variants that are often bioinformatically filtered out. We used GSDME as a model to demonstrate the importance of assessing synonymous variants. Variants in the gene GSDME (also known as DFNA5) are associated with autosomal dominant...
