TECTA and hearing loss disorder: We identified four missense variants (p.Arg371Gly, p.Val932Ala, p.Ser1724Asn and p.Asp2006Tyr) and four synonymous variants (p.Ala495Ala, p.Ile752Ile, p.Tyr935Tyr, p.Ser1878Ser) in coding regions of TECTA. Among these, a novel variant, p.Asp2006Tyr was found to be implicated as the pathogenic missense mutation causing hearing loss.
