The pathogenic roles of the p.R130S prestin variant in DFNB61 hearing loss
2023-08-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> DFNB61 is a recessively inherited nonsyndromic hearing loss caused by mutations in SLC26A5 , the gene that encodes the voltage-driven motor protein, prestin. Prestin is abundantly expressed in the auditory outer hair cells that mediate cochlear amplification. Two DFNB61-associated SLC26A5 variants, p.W70X and p.R130S, were identified in patients who are compound heterozygous for these nonsense...
