Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in humans. Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) contributes to more than 60% of deafness cases, with autosomal dominant, recessive, and X-linked forms. Although Y-linked deafness is unusual and extremely rare, missense mutations in the TBL1Y gene has been found in families affected by HHL.
