Since then, seven different mutations in the MYO6 gene have been reported to be associated with DFNA22 deafness in Caucasian families: three missense mutations (p.H246R, p.C442Y and p.R1204W), a nonsense mutation (p.R849X), two splicing mutations (c.897G > T and c.2416 + 2321T > G) and an overexpression mutation [10,21–25]. Here, MYO6 is linked to deafness.
