Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an important occupational disease which results from an interaction between genetic and environmental factors.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of CAT gene polymorphisms with NIHL in a case-control study. DESIGN: A...
