Abstract

The family described here, with affected males who have progressive, postlingual sensorineural hearing loss and mildly affected females maps most compatibly to the DFN2 locus. Analysis of hereditary deafness in this family refines the DFN2 locus to a 9.2 Mb region in chromosome X band q21 between DXS990 and DXS106.
