A truncating CLDN9 variant is associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss
While the importance of tight junctions in hearing is well established, the role of Claudin- 9 (CLDN9), a tight junction protein, in human hearing and deafness has not been explored. Through whole-genome seque...

MPZL2 is a novel gene associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic moderate hearing loss
While recent studies have revealed a substantial portion of the genes underlying human hearing loss, the extensive genetic landscape has not been completely explored. Here, we report a loss-of-function variant...

Spectrum of DNA variants for non-syndromic deafness in a large cohort from multiple continents
Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans with causative variants in over 140 genes. With few exceptions, however, the population-specific distribution for many of the identified variants/genes...
