Identification a novel pathogenic LRTOMT mutation in Mauritanian families with nonsyndromic deafness

Abstract: Although recessive mutations in GJB2 are the common genetic etiology of sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI), variants in LRTOMT gene were also identified, mostly in Middle East and North African populations. Methods: Using Sanger sequencing we screened the exon 7 of LRTOMT in a cohort of 128 unrelated Mauritanian children with congenital deafness. Results: One biallelic missense mutation, predicted as pathogenic (c.179T>C;p.Leu60Pro) was found at homozygous state in four independent families. This variant,… Show more
