Mutations in the unconventional myosin VI gene, Myo6, are associated with deafness and vestibular dysfunction in the Snell's waltzer (sv) mouse. The corresponding human gene, MYO6, is located on chromosome 6q13. We describe the mapping of a new deafness locus, DFNA22, on chromosome 6q13 in a family affected by a nonsyndromic dominant form of deafness (NSAD), and the subsequent identification of a missense mutation in the MYO6 gene in all members of the family with hearing loss.
非传统肌球蛋白VI基因(Myo6)的突变与斯内尔跳鼠(sv)小鼠的耳聋和前庭功能障碍有关。相应的人类基因MYO6位于6号染色体的q13区域。我们描述了一个受非综合征性显性耳聋(NSAD)影响的家族中,一个新的耳聋基因座DFNA22在6号染色体q13上的定位,以及随后在该家族所有听力损失成员中鉴定出MYO6基因的一个错义突变。
