    We ascertained a large North American family, LMG2, segregating progressive, non-syndromic, sensorineural hearing loss. A genome-wide scan identified significant evidence for linkage (maximum logarithm of the odds (LOD) score = 4.67 at theta = 0 for D4S398) to markers in a 5.7-cM interval on chromosome 4q12-13.1. The DFNA27 interval spans 8.85 Mb and includes at least 61 predicted and 8 known genes. We sequenced eight genes and excluded them as candidates for the DFNA27 gene.
