Hearing Loss and Deafness
- Nonsyndromic Genetic Hearing Loss
One of 97 genes linked to it
Inherited hearing loss without other medical features, including the common recessive forms caused by GJB2, OTOF, SLC26A4, STRC and many other genes, as well as dominant, X-linked and mitochondrial forms.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing the genetic cause can guide hearing support and cochlear implant decisions, gene-therapy trial eligibility (for example OTOF) and family counselling.
How a genome test reads LRTOMT
18
positions in LRTOMT where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
None of them falls in a region short reads find hard.
