Focusing on an Iranian family exhibiting USH2 symptoms, exome-sequencing was employed for a comprehensive genome analysis in a 30-yearold patient. The investigation unveiled a novel variation (NM_206933.

Introduction: Hearing loss (HL) is the most frequent sensory neurodeficiency, affecting a broad spectrum of individuals globally. Within this context, the role of genetic factors takes center stage, particularly in cases of hereditary HL.
Case Report: Here, we present a nonsyndromic HL (NSHL) case report.
This point of detected mutation could be considered as a novel mutational hotspot point that carried in patient ancestors. Moreover, the obtained results and family history suggest a precise genetic consulting and molecular prenatal evaluation for suspect individuals with a family history of mental and physical abnormalities.
