Several different mutations in the KCNQ4 K+ channel gene are responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment (DFNA2). Here we describe two additional families originating from Europe and Japan with a KCNQ4 missense mutation (W276S) that was previously found in one European family.

## Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disease caused by mutations in at least three different loci. Mutations in the PKD2 gene are responsible for approximately 15% of the cases of the disease. We have screened 14 Cze
