Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hearing is a complex trait, but until now only a few genes are known to contribute to variability of this process. In order to discover genes and pathways that underlie auditory function, a genome-wide association study was carried out within the International Consortium G-EAR. METHODS: Meta-analysis of genome-wide association study's data from six isolated populations of European ancestry for an...
