Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Little is known about the molecular epidemiology of deafness in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Even in Nigeria, the most populous African nation, no genetic studies of deafness have been conducted. This pioneering work aims at investigating the frequencies of gene mutations relatively common in other parts of the world (i.e. those in GJB2, GJB6, and mitochondrial DNA) among subjects from Nigeria with...
