Characteristics of the motor unit potential (MUP), recruitment pattern, and evoked potential in the thyroarytenoid muscle (TA), the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle (PCA) and the cricothyroid muscle (CT) of the normal side were analyzed, with the coefficient of variation (CV), reference value range of each parameter, and differences in different genders and age groups analyzed simultaneously. SPSS 24.0 software was used to analyze the data. <b>Results:</b> The amplitudes of MUP in TA, PCA, and CT muscles were (129.52±24.95) μV, (240.67±88.25) μV, and (125.88±21.36) μV, respectively. The durations were (3.67±0.17) ms, (3.82±0.29) ms and (3.68±0.17) ms, respectively. The numbers of MUP phase were 1.94±0.28, 2.16±0.38, and 1.98±0.25, respectively.

Then, Sanger sequencing was used to test co-segregation in the family, and transcriptome sequencing was used to investigate the effect of a variant on splicing. <b>Results:</b> The proband has auditory neuropathy combined with symptoms such as development delay, muscle weakness, and seizure. The patient carries two variants in <i>NARS2</i> (NM_024678.6), namely: c.779A>C (p.Glu260Ala) and c.372+3A>G (intronic variant), of which c.779A>C is inherited from the father and c.372+3A>G from the mother.
