Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The connexin 26 coding gene (GJB2) is the primary causative gene for nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing impairment (NSSHI). More than 100 mutations in this gene have been reported to be linked to hearing impairment (HI), from mild to profound hearing loss. To precisely estimate the impact of GJB2 mutations in the Chinese population, a cross-sectional study was performed to analyze the auditory data of...
