Hearing loss is among the most common congenital sensory impairments. Genetic causes account for more than 50% of the cases of congenital hearing loss. The <i>PTPRQ</i> gene, encoding protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor Q, plays an important role in maintaining the stereocilia structure and function of hair cells. Mutations in the <i>PTPRQ</i> gene have been reported to cause hereditary sensorineural hearing loss. By using next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing, we identified a novel ...[more]
