DFNA5, a gene involved in hearing loss and cancer: a review.

Abstract

DFNA5 is a tumor suppressor gene that is involved in apoptosis pathways and as such performs a basic role in cell survival.

In view of the known role of apoptosis in several forms of hearing loss, DFNA5 may be a player in the underlying disease mechanisms.
