Summary: The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia, and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. Alpha-tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the tectorial membrane. Mutations in the TECTA gene have been shown to be responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment and a recessive form of sensorineural pre-lingual non-syndromic deafness.

homozygous c.1893C>A mutation of the TECTA gene probably underlies the proband's hearing loss which conformed to an autosomal recessive inheritance
Title: [Diagnosis and reproductive guidance for a couple carrying a novel c.1893C>T mutation of the TECTA gene].
TECTA mutations were identified in 6.0% of mid-frequency sensorineural hearing loss cases; these mutations were more frequent in patients with shallow U-shaped audiograms than those with U-shaped audiograms, and in families which have the family histories compatible with autosomal dominant than those with the family histories compatible with sporadic or autosomal recessive.
Title: Prevalence of TECTA mutation in patients with mid-frequency sensorineural hearing loss.
Up to now, merely 7 loci have been linked to mid-frequency hearing loss. Only four genetic mid-frequency deafness genes, namely, DFNA10 (EYA4), DFNA8/12 (TECTA), DFNA13 (COL11A2), DFNA44 (CCDC50), have been reported to date. [review]

A novel homozygous variant (c.734G > A) was found in exon 5 of the TECTA gene in one family leading to a nonsense mutation causing autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
