Inherited hearing impairment can occur either in the presence of other clinical features (syndromic hearing loss, SHL) or in isolation (non-syndromic hearing loss, NSHL). The latter is more common and is highly heterogeneous. To date, six NSHL loci have been mapped. We report the identification of a seventh locus (DFNA4) on chromosome 19q13 and suggest DM kinase as a possible candidate gene.
遗传性听力障碍可伴有其他临床特征(综合征性听力损失,SHL)或单独出现(非综合征性听力损失,NSHL)。后者更为常见且具有高度异质性。迄今为止,已定位了6个NSHL基因座。我们报告在19号染色体q13上鉴定出第七个基因座(DFNA4),并提出DM激酶作为一个可能的候选基因。
