Abstract excerpt
Knowing the etiology of hearing loss in a person has implications for counseling and management of the condition. More than 50% of cases of early onset, nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss are attributable to genetic factors. However, deafness is a genetically heterogeneous condition and it is therefore currently not economically and practically feasible to screen for mutations in all known deafness genes. We...
