Abstract excerpt
The grainyhead like 2 (GRHL2) is a transcription factor, and the role among noise exposed workers is not well established. We tested whether GRHL2 polymorphisms are associated with the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in Chinese high intensity noise exposed workers. We genotyped six polymorphisms of GRHL2 gene (i.e., rs611419, rs3779617, rs3735713, rs3735714, rs3735715, and ) of 340 NIHL cases...
