The 20 mouse genes with the highest predicted probabilities include the known non-syndromic DGs Smpx, and Ptprq, seven DAGs (Gfi1, Lhx3, Erbb4, Ephx1, Il33, Slc52a3, and Ttr), and nine genes not associated with deafness (Mlf1, Nell1, Espnl, Rbm24, Lrrc10b, Agr3, Tgm2, Id4Cd164l2, and Faim2). This evidence concerns the gene ESPNL and deafness.
