Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Previous epidemiological studies indicate that GJB2, SLC26A4 or mtDNA 12S rRNA mutations were chiefly responsible for the hearing loss in children. A cost-effective method for screening deafness-associated mutations at early age is needed. This study aimed to develop a simple kit for screening of high risk deafness-associated mutations in newborns using tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation...
