The most frequent causative deafness gene was TMC1 (DFNA36) (3 cases), followed by the next tier of genes (2 cases each) (CDH23, COCH, SLC26A4, TMPRSS3, ATP1A3), and the genes that were detected only once (ACTG1, GJB2, ILDR1, MYO7A, MYO15A, NF2, NLRP3 and SERPNB6). The gene discussed is NF2; the disease is deafness.
