The DFNA58 locus contains a genomic duplication involving three protein-coding genes (CNRIP1, PLEK, and PPP3R1′s exon 1) and other uncharacterized lncRNA genes (LOC101927723, LOC107985892 and LOC102724389). To clarify the role of these genes in hearing and precisely determine their role in hearing loss, four iPSC lines were generated from two carriers and two noncarriers of the duplication.
