Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inherited genetic defects play an important role in congenital hearing loss, contributing to about 60% of deafness occurring in infants. Hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss is highly heterogeneous, and most patients with a presumed genetic etiology lack a specific molecular diagnosis. METHODS: By whole exome sequencing, we identified responsible gene of family 4794 with autosomal recessively...
