Here, we intended to investigate genetic causes of hearing loss in a Han Chinese man.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>First, whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify the gene mutations responsible for hearing loss in the proband. Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate mutations detected in the family. Next, we collected blood samples and clinical data from the three-generation pedigree. Finally, SLC26A4 mRNA and protein expression levels were detected by qPCR and western blotting.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The proband suffered from bilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss with EVA. The sequence analysis of SLC26A4 revealed that the proband and his sister both harbored a compound heterozygous mutation of c.2168A\u2009&gt;\u2009G\/c.2029C\u2009&gt;\u2009T, inherited from their father and mother respectively. c.2029C\u2009&gt;\u2009T mutation has not been recorded in the relevant literature previously. Relative mRNA levels of the SLC26A4 gene in individuals carrying a compound heterozygous mutation were significantly lower compared to a heterozygous mutation. SLC26A4 protein levels of 293t cells which transfected with recombinant plasmids [GV219-SLC26A4-mut (c.2029C\u2009&gt;\u2009T) and GV219-SLC26A4-mut (c.2168A\u2009&gt;\u2009G\/c.2029C\u2009&gt;\u2009T)] were significantly lower than normal control recombinant plasmids (GV219-SLC26A4-wt).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study found a novel heterozygous mutation c.2029 (exon17) C\u2009&gt;\u2009T compound with c.2168 (exon19) A\u2009&gt;\u2009G in the <jats:italic>SLC26A4<\/jats:italic> gene in a patient with EVA.
