Lack of function within the cochlear hair cells leads to development of deafness.12 Similarly, CDH23, (OMIM: 605516) gene encoding Cadherin-23 showed mutation in both NSHL (DFNB12) and Usher syndrome type ID (USH1D).13CDH23 contain 69 exons and codes 3,354-amino-acid protein comprising 27 cadherin extracellular (EC) repeats, a transmembrane domain and a unique cytoplasmic domain. This evidence concerns the gene CDH17 and nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
