title: Genetics of deafness: clinical aspects.
abstract: In most single gene disorders, all patients with the disease phenotype have the same affected gene. However, phenotypic similarities in genetically deaf patients do not correlate well with mutations at the same genetic locus. This genetic heterogeneity has limited the influence of modern genetic practice in genetically deaf patients.
