*In total, 104 cells were analysed with CELLQuest software. Numbers are deduced from one representative experiment out of two experiments (dot plots are shown in fig 2B). With χ2 statistics, p values of <0.001 and 0.171 were calculated in HEK293T and COS-1 cells, respectively, for the differences between transfections with wildtype DFNA5–GFP and mutant DFNA5–GFP for the experiment represented in table 1 and fig 2. The second experiment gave p values of <0.001 and 0.027, respectively.
