Four genes for otosclerosis have been mapped to chromosomes 15q25-q26 (OTCS 1), 7q34-q36 (OTCS 2), 6p21.3-22.3 (OTCS 3) and 3q22-24 (OTSC5).  None of the genes have been cloned.  Further, an association between otosclerosis and the type I collagen genes (implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta) has be...
