Abstract
Defects in different genes underlie the many kinds of genetic deafness. In this issue, [ Vahava et al .][1] report that a mutation in the transcription factor POU4F3 is the cause of deafness in a large Israeli family. In her commentary, Steel discusses how the malfunctioning of this transcription factor may lead to progressive deafness, with onset at age 18.
