Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both environmental and genetic factors are attributable to the incidence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between genetic variations in the EYA4, GRHL2 and DFNA5 genes and the risk to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in a Chinese population. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted with 476 NIHL workers and 475 normal hearing workers...
