| Research Abstract |
One of the causes of sensory neural hearing loss is affected with genetic mutations of encoding proteins of inner ear cochlear components. In this study, we examined the prevalence of genetic mutations and confirmed genotype phenotype correlation in congenital hearing loss patients. In our results, the mutation of TECTA gene encoding tectorial membrane protein may be a high incidence in autosomal dominant hearing loss. Mutation screening can diagnose the genetic cause of hearing loss with tectorial membrane defect.
