Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The solute carrier family 26 (SLC26) encodes multifunctional anion transporters that mediate the transmembrane exchange of monovalent and divalent anions. While pathogenic variants in several SLC26 genes cause inherited disorders, only SLC26A4 and SLC26A5 have been linked to hereditary hearing loss (HHL). RESULTS: Exome sequencing performed in probands from nine unrelated Moroccan families with...
