<unk>  has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.<unk>  is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that one would need to inherit an abnormal gene from each parent to develop the condition. This also means that a sibling of a patient with<unk>  has a 25% chance of also having the condition if the parents are unaffected carriers. It has been linked to mutations in the<unk>  gene, which codes for the pendrin protein (solute carrier family 26, member 4, SLC26A4). The gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 7 (7q31). Mutations in the same gene also cause enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome (EVA or EVAS), another congenital cause of deafness; specific mutations are more likely to cause EVAS, while others are more linked with<unk> .
