title: [From gene to disease; non-syndromic, autosomal dominant, low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (DFNA6/14)].
abstract: DFNA6/-14 is a nonsyndromic, autosomal dominant form of hearing impairment that is characterised by low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, which in some cases is progressive. It is the only known form of dominantly inherited low-frequency hearing impairment in the Netherlands. It is caused by heterozygous non-inactivating mutations in the WFSI gene, which are also present in the Wolfram or DIDMOAD syndrome.
