Novel Mutations and Mutation Combinations of TMPRSS3 Cause Various Phenotypes in One Chinese Family with Autosomal Recessive Hearing Impairment

Figure 5

Molecular modeling of wild-type and mutant TMPRSS3. (a) The mutant protein Thr306 is predicted to have three hydrogen bonds and add one hydrogen bond compared to the wild-type protein. (b) Arg106 lies within a loop. The wild-type protein has a longer side chain than the mutant protein.
