Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genetic causes of consanguineous Uyghur families with nonsyndromic deafness. METHOD: Seven consanguineous Uyghur families with nonsyndromic deafness were recruited in this study and characterized for their audiometric phenotype. Mutation analysis of common deafness genes GJB2, SLC26A4 and MT-RNR1 was performed in all families by direct sequencing. RESULT: Bi-allelic mutations in...
