{"symbol":"DFNB59","synonyms":["PJVK"],"name":"deafness, autosomal recessive 59","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the gasdermin family, a family which is found only in vertebrates. The encoded protein is required for the proper function of auditory pathway neurons. Defects in this gene are a cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 59 (DFNB59).
