Deep analysis of the LRTOMTc.242G > A variant in non ‐syndromic hearing loss North African patients and the Berber population: Implications for genetic diagnosis and genealogical studies

In conclusion, theLRTOMT c.242G>A homozygous variant could be used as a useful deafness biomarker for North African ARNSHL patients meanwhile the heterozygous variant could be utilized in genealogical studies for tracing those of the Berber ethnic group.
