Gene: DFNB59 (deafness, autosomal recessive 59) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

DFNB59

Name:

deafness, autosomal recessive 59

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the gasdermin family, a family which is found only in vertebrates. The encoded protein is required for the proper function of auditory pathway neurons. Defects in this gene are a cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 59 (DFNB59). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

REVIEWED
