Abstract

Many cases of hearing impairment are of genetic origin. Non-syndromic recessive transmission is the most frequent form. A genetic study was made of cases of non-syndromic familial hearing impairment seen in our service. The pattern of Mendelian inheritance was studied in the disorders associated with deafness. Four families had non-syndromic deafness and autosomal inheritance (3 dominant and one recessive) and one had a probable sex-linked inheritance. Genetic counseling was given and guidelines were created after reviewing the literature.
