Abstract
⺠Sensorineural hearing loss is the most prevalent human genetic sensory defect. ⺠Mutations in the TMPRSS3 cause two forms of non-syndromic recessive deafness. ⺠We performed a genetic analysis of TMPRSS3 gene in 80 Moroccan deaf families. ⺠Nineteen variants were found which six are missense and three are synonymous. ⺠TMPRSS3 can be a contributor of hearing loss in the Moroccan population.
