Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop a molecular screening test for genetic defects on hearing loss related genes has significant impacts on early identification of hereditary hearing loss and genetic susceptibility to aminoglycoside ototoxicity. Early identification of pre-lingual hearing loss is very important for patient' s language development, academic achievement, and social skill. Two common mutations, the 235delC in...
