Whole exome sequencing identifies new causative mutations in Tunisian families with non-syndromic deafness.

Whole exome sequencing identifies new causative mutations in Tunisian families with non-syndromic deafness.

Identification of the causative mutations in patients affected by autosomal recessive non syndromic deafness (DFNB forms), is demanding due to genetic heterogeneity. After the exclusion of GJB2 mutations and other mutations previously reported in Tunisian deaf patients, we performed whole exome sequ...
