Abstract
- Nonsyndromic deafness locus (DFNB48) segregating as an autosomal recessive trait has been mapped to the long arm of chromosome 15 in bands q23-q25.1 in five large Pakistani families. The deafness phenotype in one of these five families (PKDF245) is linked to D15S1005 with a lod score of 8.6 at ?=0, and there is a critical linkage interval of approximately 7 cM on the Marshfield human genetic map, bounded by microsatellite markers D15S216 (70.73 cM) and D15S1041 (77.69 cM).MYO9A,NR2E3,BBS4, andTMC3are among the candidate genes in theDFNB48region. The identification of another novel nonsyndromic recessive deafness locus demonstrates the high degree of locus heterogeneity for hearing impairment, particularly in the Pakistani population.
