In our cohort, pathogenic variants were also detected in a number of other deafness genes, including KCNQ4, POU3F4, MYO7A, TMPRSS3, EYA1, TECTA, MITF, POU4F3, PJVK, COL4A5, WFS1, GATA3, SIX5, USH2A, OTOG, PAX3, MYO6, ATP6V1B2, SOX10, PTPRQ, EPS8L2, and EDNRB, as shown in Table 6. Here, PAX3 is linked to deafness.
