Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patient genetic heterogeneity renders it difficult to discover disease-cause genes. Whole-exome sequencing is a powerful new strategy that can be used to this end. The purpose of the present study was to identify a hitherto unknown mutation causing autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) in Korean families. METHODS: We performed whole-exome sequencing in 16 individuals from 13 unrelated...
