Preferred Label : Deafness, autosomal recessive 26;
Symbol : DFNB26;
CISMeF acronym : DFNB26;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : In a consanguineous Pakistani family, Riazuddin et al. (2000) mapped an autosomal
recessive nonsyndromic deafness locus, DFNB26, to a 1.5-cM interval of chromosome
4q31. A maximum lod score of 8.10 at theta 0.0 was obtained with D4S1610 when only
the 8 affected individuals in this family were included in the calculation. There
were 7 unaffected family members who were also homozygous for the DFNB26-linked haplotype
and thus were nonpenetrant. Riazuddin et al. (2000) also mapped a dominant deafness
modifier, designated DFNM1 (605429), that suppressed deafness in the 7 nonpenetrant
individuals to a 5.6-cM region on chromosome 1q24, with a lod score of 4.31 at theta
0.0 for D1S2815. Nadeau (2001) reviewed modifier genes in mice and humans, dividing
the types of modification as follows: reduced penetrance, dominance modification,
expressivity, and pleiotropy. The DFNB26 gene results in reduced penetrance. *FIELD*
