Abstract excerpt
Non-syndromic recessive deafness (NSRD) is the most common form of prelingual hereditary hearing loss. To date, 10 autosomal NSRD loci (DFNBs) have been identified by genetic mapping; at least three times as many additional loci are expected to be identified. We have performed linkage analyses in two inter-related inbred kindreds, comprised of >50 affecteds, from a single Israeli-Arab village segregating NSRD....
