Thirty-three pathogenic variants, including nine novel variants, accounting for non-syndromic deafness were clustered in only four TF genes (POU3F4, POU4F3, LMX1A, and EYA4), which is indicative of a narrow molecular etiologic spectrum of TF genes, and the functional redundancy of many other TF genes, in the context of non-syndromic deafness. Here, LMX1A is linked to deafness.
