n/a = not applicable

Note 1: GIPC3 is responsible for progressive sensorineural hearing loss that can be associated with audiogenic seizures.

Note 2: STRC causes deafness-infertility syndrome in males when deleted in conjunction with CATSPER2 (Zhang et al., 2007).

Note 3: DFNB26 is suppressed by dominant modifier DFNM1.

Note 4: Some variants in CDC14A cause hearing impairment infertile male syndrome (HIIMS).

Note 5: MYO6-related hearing loss is likely semidominant.

Note 6: GPSM2 was initially reported as a nonsyndromic hearing loss gene but later determined to cause Chudley-McCullough syndrome, see Diaz-Horta et al., 2012 and Doherty et al., 2012.

Note 7: Autosomal recessive phenotypes of TBC1D24 are a spectrum of DOORS syndrome.

Note 8: TSPEAR has been called into question as a hearing loss gene.  Bowles et al., 2021 reports that the primary phenotypes associated with biallelic TSPEAR variants are tooth agenesis and ectodermal dysplasia, not hearing loss.  It also notes that the TSPEAR variants initially reported by Delmaghani et al., 2012 to segregate with hearing loss have since been observed in normal-hearing individuals, and suggests the true hearing loss variants may not have been recognized due to test limitations.

Note 9: ROR1 is responsible for autosomal recessive hearing loss associated with common cavity inner ear malformations and auditory neuropathy.

Note 10: The locus identifier DFNB128 has not yet been assigned by OMIM, but was used by Faridi et al., 2024 to refer to the locus they identified.
