Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders in humans and has a genetic cause in 50% of the cases. Our recent studies indicate that nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) in the Saudi Arabian population is genetically heterogeneous and is not caused by mutations in GJB2 and GJB6, the most common genes for deafness in various populations worldwide. Identification of the causative gene/mutation in affected...
