Abstract excerpt
Deafness is the most frequent sensorineural defect in children. The vast majority of the prelingual forms of isolated deafness are highly genetically heterogeneous with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Using linkage analysis, we have mapped the gene responsible for a severe progressive...
