The affected status of individual III:16 is based on reporting by family members. b Clinical features of the affected individuals carrying the variants in MEPE. Affected individuals III:7, III:15, IV:1, and IV:2 show bilateral facial paresis; they are not able to smile. c Pedigrees of the families with otosclerosis (OTOS1 and OTOS2) in which the variant M2 [c.199_202delGAAA; p.(Lys70Ilefs*26)] was identified.
