" /> Deafness, autosomal recessive 26 - CISMeF





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* RF 1. Nadeau, J. H.: Modifier genes in mice and humans. Nature Rev. Genet. 2: 165-174, 2001. 2. Riazuddin, S.; Castelein, C. M.; Ahmed, Z.
