Association of Unconventional Myosin MYO15 Mutations with Human Nonsyndromic Deafness DFNB3

TL;DR: A human unconventional myosin gene, MYO15, was identified by combining functional and positional cloning approaches in searching for shaker-2 and DFNB3, revealing two missense mutations and one nonsense mutation that cosegregated with congenital recessive deafness.

Correction of deafness in shaker-2 mice by an unconventional myosin in a BAC transgene

TL;DR: Shaker-2 mice were found to have an amino acid substitution at a highly conserved position within the motor domain of this myosin this article, which suggests that Myo15 is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea.
