Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) is the most common form of prelingual inherited hearing impairment (HI). Here is described the mapping of a novel ARNSHI locus in a consanguineous Pakistani family with profound congenital HI. Two-point and multipoint linkage analyses were performed for the genome scan and fine mapping markers. Haplotypes were constructed to determine the region of homozygosity. At theta = 0, the maximum two-point LOD score of 4.0 was obtained at mark ...[more]
