METHODSThe family is of European descent and was ascertained through two different probands by both the University of Michigan and the University of California at Irvine. The Institutional Review Boards of the University of Michigan Medical School, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, and the University of California at Irvine approved the study, and informed consent was obtained from all subjects. Four generations were available for study, including 47 family members informative for genetic analysis of whom 33 were affected, four were unrelated spouses, and 10 were unaffected (fig 1). All unaffected members were at least 18 years old. Two individuals (VI: 9 and VI: 13) had isolated high frequency sensorineural hearing loss consistent with their sex and age and were characterised as unaffected prior to linkage analysis. Information was obtained from questionnaires and interviews with family members. Standard pure tone audiometry was performed for all participants, and peripheral blood or buccal cell samples were obtained. The phenotype was extensively characterised by otologic and neurologic examination and by audiological, psychoacoustic, and neurophysiological testing. 8 SLINK analysis predicted an average maximum LOD score of 7.90, with 100% of replicates greater than 3.0. 9, 10
