Hereditary hearing loss is divided into two groups, syndromic and non-
syndromic, the latter being more common and highly heterogeneous. Linkage
analyses were performed on a Japanese family showing a dominant form of
non-syndromic progressive sensorineural hearing loss. This gene (DFNA11)
was localized within the region of chromosome 11q which contains the second
gene for a recessive form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss
(DFNB2). Since it has been reported that another gene for dominant
non-syndromic hearing loss (DFNA3) has been mapped to the same region as
the first gene for recessive hearing loss (DFNB1), it is possible that
different mutations in the DFNB2 gene may result in either dominant or
recessive hearing loss.
