The high degree of structural complexity of the auditory system [1–4] must have a very high price in terms of specific regulatory and structural genes. Hence, the large number of different types of mutations that cause deafness in mice and humans [5–8]. During the last decade more than 40 nonsyndromic deafnesses were mapped, as well as many deafness syndromes with complex phenotypes. Most non-syndromic hearing losses are transmitted as recessive traits, but many dominant mutations are also known, as these can be easily detected spreading through large kindred [7]. Most types of mutations affect initially the high frequencies of the auditory scale, but a few damage the low frequencies at the time of onset [3, 5, 6]. Low frequency onset indicates that the mutation first affects hair cells in the cochlear apex, advancing centrifugally towards the basal turn with progressive loss [3, 5]. A dominant, low frequency, early-onset progressive sensorineural deafness was described in the M-kindred of Costa Rica [9] and initially classified by McKusick [10] along with a family from Tennessee as Low Frequency Hearing Loss I (LFHL1, McKusick# 124900). The M-kindred mutation, later designated DFNA1, leads to severe losses and is fully penetrant. The Tennessee family has a non-syndromic progressive loss, incompletely penetrant, involving the low frequencies at the time of onset, progressing to all frequencies but never becoming severe. Recently the mutation in the Tennessee family-designated DFNA6-has been mapped to chromosome 4p16. 3 [11] and McKusick (MIM on line) has assigned separate categories for these two deafnesses. The DFNA1 mutation in the M-kindred is described in this chapter. It was mapped to 5q31 in 1992 [12] and recently cloned and sequenced [13], in a decade-long effort between US and Costa Rican research teams.
