Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is one of the most common genetic diseases in human and is subject to important genetic heterogeneity, rendering molecular diagnosis difficult. Whole-exome sequencing is thus a powerful strategy for this purpose. After excluding GJB2 mutation and other common mutations associated with hearing loss in Morocco, whole-exome sequencing was performed to study the...
