A novel mutation in SLITRK6 causes deafness and myopia in a Moroccan family
2018
Abstract Deafness and myopia syndrome is characterized by moderate-profound, bilateral, congenital or prelingual deafness and high myopia. Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss is one of the most prevalent human genetic sensorineural defects. Myopia is by far the most common human eye disorder that is known to have a clear heritable component. The analysis of the two exons of SLITRK6 gene in a Moroccan family allowed us to identify a novel single deleterious mutation c.696delG, p.Trp232Cysfs*10 at homozygous state in the exon 2 of the SLITRK6 , a gene reported to cause deafness and myopia in various populations.
