Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between genetic variations in the Protocadherin 15 gene (PCDH15) and the risk to noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) in a Chinese population. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted with 476 noise-sensitive workers (NIHL) and 475 noise-resistant workers (normal) matched for gender, years of noise exposure, and intensity of noise exposure. 13...
