Abstract excerpt
Discovery of deafness genes has progressed but clinical application lags because of the genetic heterogeneity. To establish clinical application strategy, we reviewed the frequency and spectrum of mutations found in Japanese hearing loss patients and compared them to those in populations of European ancestry. Screening revealed that in Japanese, mutations in GJB2, SLC26A4, and CDH23, and the mitochondrial 12S...
