Congratulation Artem for this amazing talk. @Hearing_INM @INM_Montpellier @AROMWM #ARO2023

[MORL @MORL_UIowa]

Come learn from Joseph Chin about the first "synonymous" variant in DFNA5 that affects splicing and cause dominant hearing loss at poster #SU102 @AROMWM #ARO2023

[MORL @MORL_UIowa]

Should you consider dual genetic diagnoses on multigene hearing loss panels? YES!
1/250 probands had dual genetic diagnoses. See
Amanda Schaefer @ poster TU97 to learn about the complexity of counseling and clinical care. @IowaOto @MORL_UIowa

[MORL @MORL_UIowa]

@Affortit_C is presenting his new work “TMC1 p.D569N Mutation Induces Tip-Link Aberrant Morphology & OHC Loss” poster #TU88 @AROMWM where he shows the rate of progression of Tmc1 p.D569N associated hearing loss and the variant-specific patterns of Hair cell loss. #ARO2023

[MORL @MORL_UIowa]

@MORL_UIowa work on “The Genetic & Phenotypic Landscapes of TECTA-Related Hearing Loss” demonstrates the importance of expert curation when classifying variants in complex genes. Visit @A_MoniqueWeaver poster# MO93, @AROMWM on 2/13/23 to learn more! #ARO2023

[MORL @MORL_UIowa]

Come check @mariawong_ poster on Copy Number Variants in Hearing Loss Poster #: SA94
Her work shows they account for 1/4 diagnoses of ARNSHL loss & highlights the importance of their comprehensive testing for accurate diagnosis& appropriate genetic counselling & follow-up care
