A novel variant c.1185_1196dup (p.(Gly396_Ser399dup)) in the SLC26A4 gene associated with recessive hearing loss
A novel variant was revealed – tandem duplication of twelve nucleotides (c.1185_1196dup) in exon 10 of the SLC26A4 gene, an in-frame insertion resulting in the inclusion of four additional amino acid residues Gly-Phe-Phe-Ser (p.(Gly396_Ser399dup) in a highly conserved region of the pendrin protein.
