Whole-exome sequencing identifies two novel mutations in KCNQ4 in individuals with nonsyndromic hearing loss

Abstract Mutations in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4 (KCNQ4) are etiologically linked to a type of nonsyndromic hearing loss, deafness nonsyndromic autosomal dominant 2 (DFNA2). We performed whole-exome sequencing for 98 families with hearing loss and found mutations in KCNQ4 i...
