The other two myosin genes, MYO6 and MYO7A, depending on the variants, are associated with both autosomal dominant and recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss, respectively, as DFNA22 and DFNB37 for MYO6 (Melchionda et al., 2001; Ahmed et al., 2003a) and DFNA11 and DFNB2 for MYO7A (Liu et al., 1997; Weil et al., 1997). Here, MYO7A is linked to nonsyndromic deafness.
