Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular etiologic causes of sporadic nonsyndromic hearing loss in Chinese children. METHODS: 179 sporadic nonsyndromic hearing loss children were subjected to microarray-based mutation detection for nine hot spot mutations in four of the most common deafness-related genes, including GJB2, SLC26A4, GJB3, and 12s rRNA. RESULTS: The incidence of positive genetic errors was 43.58% with...
