Digenic inheritance of mutations in EPHA2 and SLC26A4 in Pendred syndrome

Digenic inheritance of mutations in EPHA2 and SLC26A4 in Pendred syndrome

While biallelic mutations of the SLC26A4 gene cause non-syndromic hearing loss with enlarged vestibular aqueducts or Pendred syndrome, a considerable number of patients carry mono-allelic mutations. Here the authors identify EPHA2 as another causative gene of Pendred syndrome with SLC26A4.
