Hereditary hearing loss: from human mutation to mechanism

DR Lenz, KB Avraham - Hearing research, 2011 - Elsevier
The genetic heterogeneity of hereditary hearing loss is thus far represented by hundreds of
genes encoding a large variety of proteins. Mutations in these genes have been discovered …

Mutations in a novel isoform of TRIOBP that encodes a filamentous-actin binding protein are responsible for DFNB28 recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss

H Shahin, T Walsh, T Sobe, AA Rayan… - The American Journal of …, 2006 - cell.com
In a large consanguineous Palestinian kindred, we previously mapped DFNB28—a locus
associated with recessively inherited, prelingual, profound sensorineural hearing …

Mutations in TRIOBP, which encodes a putative cytoskeletal-organizing protein, are associated with nonsyndromic recessive deafness

S Riazuddin, SN Khan, ZM Ahmed, M Ghosh… - The American Journal of …, 2006 - cell.com
In seven families, six different mutant alleles of TRIOBP on chromosome 22q13 cosegregate
with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness. These alleles include four nonsense …
