  • A larger table including more rows with overlapping findings and more columns, such as the mode of inheritance at each locus, can be found in online supplementary table S1. Gene names are currently Hugo Genome Nomenclature Committee-approved names, not necessarily the gene names in the original publication. In some cases, the original study (eg, reference 11) reported multiple pairs of genes, and there is one representative pair in the table. Options for the Replication column (and their meanings) include: Yes (replicated in a later study), Internal (multiple pedigrees in the original study but no later study), Partial (one of the genes participates in some other documented human DI), Pathway level (other genes in the same pathway participate in other documented human DI), DNA level (applies only to GJB2/GJB6 and is explained in the text, No. Examples discussed in the text are put at the top of the Table. The replication references are given in online supplementary table S1.
