Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Autosomal Dominant 16 Deafness:

1.	Voltage-Gated Sodium ChannelsIBA 07/01/1999 - "Especially intriguing is the localization of several voltage-gated sodium-channel genes to the DFNA16 interval. "
2.	SteroidsIBA 07/01/1999 - "DFNA16 is unique in that it results in the only form of ADNSHL in which the phenotype includes rapidly progressing and fluctuating hearing loss that appears to respond to steroid therapy. "
3.	A 17 (A-17)IBA 12/01/2000 - "The DFNB27 locus extends over a 17 cM region between D2S2157 and D2S2273, and may overlap the DFNA16 locus for dominantly inherited, fluctuating, progressive non-syndromal hearing loss. "
