Using this method, we identified a known heterozygous nonsense variant in exon 26 of the DIAPH1 gene (MIM: 602121), which led to "Deafness, autosomal dominant 1, with or without thrombocytopenia; DFNA1" (MIM: 124900) in this large family in the absence of GJB2 disease-causing variants and also OtoSCOPE-negative results. The gene discussed is GJB2; the disease is Thrombocytopenia.
