Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Targeted next-generation sequencing provides a remarkable opportunity to identify variants in known disease genes, particularly in extremely heterogeneous disorders such as nonsyndromic hearing loss. The present study attempts to shed light on the complexity of hearing impairment. METHODS: Using one of two next-generation sequencing panels containing either 80 or 129 deafness genes, we screened 30...
