Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary hearing loss is genetically heterogeneous, and hundreds of mutations in than 60 genes are involved in this disease. Therefore, it is difficult to identify the causative gene mutations involved. In this study, we combined targeted genomic capture and massively parallel sequencing (MPS) to address this issue. METHODS: Using targeted genomic capture and MPS, 104 genes and three microRNA...
