Hereditary hearing impairment (HI) displays extensive genetic heterogeneity. To date, 67 autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) loci have been mapped, and 24 genes have been identified. This report describes three large consanguineous ARNSHI Pakistani families, all of which display linkage to marker loci located in the genetic interval of DFNB49 locus on chromosome 5q13. Recently, Riazuddin et al. (Am J Hum Genet 2006; 79:1040-1051) reported that variants within the TRIC ge ...[more]
